Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the

most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation

than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.

~ Ernest Hemingway

 

On you Mark, Get Set...The Illinois Marathon is here again and the big question is: What's the weather?  We're proud to have one staff member Colin Crawford running the half this year.  We've done our best to keep up with his grueling training schedule, and now we're ready to urge him on in the race! This race has blossomed over the last two year and is attracting scores of runners and all their support. Be prepared for road closures during the race and congestion. It's going to be an exciting weekend!

 

We'll see you at Sun Singer.

Sun Singer offers more than 30 wines by the glass every day of the week.     

 

Here's two highlights for the week:

 

 

L'Ecole No. 41 Merlot '07

Columbia Valley, Washington

Contains 11% Cabernet Franc with the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 18 months in 30% new oak. Medium purple-colored, it offers up a nose of spice box, violets, cassis, cedar, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, supple, and easy-going.

    

 

El Castro de Valtuille Mencia Joven '07, Bierzo,Spain

100% Mencia. Reveals an enticing perfume of baking spices, eucalyptus/pine notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a smooth-textured, sweet, forward wine with no hard edges.

Drink this lengthy effort over the next several years.

in touch with history  Cinco de Mayo!


Join us for special pricing all this week as Sun Singer helps commemorate the efforts of the brave men and women who won this unlikely victory at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

 
Mexicalli Red Pig Ale is very aromatic, intensely floral-hoppy, lightly sweet and malty full bodied ale that offers a very pleasant high bitterness with smooth sweet malt character, a creamy head with good carbonation and an excellent bitter sweet finish.

 
The year was 1865 in Mexico City.  A beautiful girl named Vicky was born.  Today, 146 years later Vicky has just come to the United States and she is as beautiful as ever.  She is winning the hearts of her fellow country men (and women) as well as those of countless others.  Truth is that she has been in this country illegally for many years, but she is now a legal resident of the United States and ready to take her rightful place in the United States beer scene.  Her full name is Victoria and she is a spectacular Vienna Lager produced by Grupo Modelo. Victoria is the oldest beer brand in Mexico where the beer's been sold since 1865. It is a Vienna-style lager beer that combines a unique copper color with a perfectly balanced taste and a smooth, crisp finish.

 
Available this week at Sun Singer's Wine Bar!

Boyd & Blair
Potato Vodka

Luscious, semisweet, chewy, and smooth; midpalate adds cocoa bean, maple, and honey. Aftertaste is graceful, solid, and simply delicious.  

BRAVO! 

~ Paul Pacult's

Spirit Journal

 

This is a small batch vodka made in Pennsylvania from locally grown potatoes by two guys using a copper still. The result is a softer, creamier style of vodka that is more mild on the palate. The quality of the spirit is obvious upon the first sip - this is vodka made by people who really care about quality and precision.  

 

always perfect:
