Sensational Saturday Tasting 
With Mom in Mind
Saturday, May 8th
12Noon - 4:00 p.m.
Price: FREE!

In my family, we were taught that every day was Mom's Day.  Mom got us out of bed, she fed us breakfast and made our lunch, then she went off to work...when she got home she cooked dinner and did the dishes, then went over our homework maybe read us a story after starting a few loads of laundry and taking the dog for a walk. After all that, we give Mom 1 in 365 to her honor and the chance to do what she wants - that's if the cat's not sick and little brother stayed out of the poison ivy patch. She may not have time to come in for this Saturday's tasting, but it shouldn't stop you from coming by in her honor!

Sun Singer offers complimentary tastings every Saturday afternoon between 12noon - 4:00pm. We invite you to join us each and every Saturday afternoon as we explore the many pleasures of the palate!

Skip the Chardonnay...
Orsolani Erbaluce La Rustia '08, Langhe, Italy

Borsao Rosé '09, Campo de Borja, Spain

Cheddar
The origin of cheddar comes from 'cheddaring', a cheese making method that originated in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England during the 12th Century. Cheddar cheese making was introduced to Australia by the early settlers. Today, it is the most popular cheese in the country.
King Island Dairy Stokes Point Smoked Cheddar is naturally smoked with Tasmanian hardwood. Matured for nine months, the golden rind created during smoking acts as a natural preservative.
Stokes Point is the most southern tip of the island and the closest point to north western Tasmania.

Stop by for a sample at the Sun Singer Deli.
