Special Feature
TURNBULL Viognier 2006, Oakville, Napa Valley, California
Successive picking passes allow for picking the fruit only once it
has achieved golden hues from light striking the fruit. These
sun-touched clusters exhibit fantastic tropical-fruit intensity, which
is preserved by gently pressing the whole cluster fruit once it arrives
at the winery, just after day-break. The result of this laborious
process is an ideal mix of fruit, floral notes, and acidity.
Honeysuckle, white blossom and brown spice aromas are followed by
rich Meyer lemon peel, apricot and vanilla flavors. Hints of minerality
accentuate the acidity that expands the complexities of this wine.
2 ounce $5.75 5
ounce $11.75

We've Got Class!:
Wine 101: 
An Introduction
Sunday, July 18th
3:00 - 5:00 pm
$20/person
Join us at Sun Singer as we
de-mystify the world of wine. Wine 101 will introduce you to the everyday pleasures of wine. We
will begin this interactive class by discussing the various approaches
to wine. We'll cover some of the basic wine terminology and flavor
components of wine. We'll also talk about where wine comes from, how
it is made and the characteristics of the 7 basic wine grape varieties
as well as tasting the wines. Class is scheduled to last 2 hours. However, the
Question & Answer time at the end of the prepared class has been
known to last an additional hour as Brian likes to answer all of the
participants' questions. After this introduction you'll feel more comfortable with
the 'language' of wine, ordering wine in a restaurant and how to
explain what you want from a wine when choosing one in the store. With
any luck you'll be on the road to a lifetime of enjoyment in a world of
wine! Sign up today by calling Sun Singer at 351-1115. |
 BEST BEERS:Rochefort:
the essential
trappist
The Trappist-Rochefort beers are top-fermented brown ales. They are
brewed and racked within the walls of the Abbey of St-Remy in
Rochefort. The modest size of the brewery means that the Trappist monks
and their fellow workers can perfectly control the production process.
The craft beer aspect is particularly appreciated by beer lovers.
Rochefort 8
The
Trappist-Rochefort 8 starts with a density of 20.80° Plato which
produces a 9.2% vol. alcohol. Vigorous in character, it is particularly
well suited to be drunk amongst a group of friends! The
Trappist-Rochefort beers are refermented in the bottle and their full
flavour can best be enjoyed when they are served in their own specific
glassware at a temperature between 12 and 14 degrees.
Rochefort 10
The Trappist-Rochefort 10 starts with a density of 24.50° Plato which
produces a 11.3% vol. alcohol. A marvellous beer! But to be drunk in
moderation! The Trappist-Rochefort beers are refermented in the bottle
and their full flavour can best be enjoyed when they are served in
their own specific glassware at a temperature between 12 and 14
degrees.

Edradour:
Scotland's Smallest Distillery
Edradour
is the last original 'farm' distillery in Perthshirea and
nestled within a pocket glen in the hills above Pitlochry
in the Southern Highlands. The distillery produces a unique,
single Highland malt whisky, to be enjoyed in recognition
of those small, significant moments that make up the ebb and
flow of life.
Edradour is produced in Scotland's smallest distillery - and
is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three
men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky
making. Indeed equipment used at the distillery has remained
unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only
just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks
of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt
a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.
 Edradour 10 year old
is a unique, hand-crafted single
Highland malt whisky, often enjoyed in recognition of
those small, significant moments that make up the ebb
and flow
of life.
If you manage to find it, you will be one of the few
people lucky enough to experience its charm - golden
in the glass, smooth and creamy with
a nutty, honeyed
finish.
 Edradour 11 year old,
1997 Straight from the Cask, Chateauneuf du Pape Finish
Distilled on 11/19/97, and bottled 8/19/09. For the the first nine
years, this malt was matured in a plain hogshead cask. For the final 27
months, the malt was finished in a fresh Chateau Neuf du Pape wine
cask. Cask number 07/325/3 yielded 297 bottles
at 57.0% abv.

| Black Star Farms
Spirit of Apple
| |
Apple brandy was the first spirit produced in America during
the Revolution. Following in the Colonial tradition, this small-batch,
hand-crafted apple brandy is distilled from a true cider blend. It is then barrel-aged for four years, using both
French and American oak, striving for a distinct fruit-driven style. At the precise time the distiller feels is optimum to
showcase the fruit from Leelanau
County's bounty, the
brandy is bottled - often a single barrel at a time.
Pale golden amber in color,
ours is well balanced with opulent, sweet-wood apple and caramel aromas and
mellowed, spicy warmth.
