this week  At the Wine Bar!  

 

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

 

Here's two highlights for the week:

 

 

La Follette 'Sangiacomo' Chardonnay '09
Sonoma Coast, California  

A beautiful, single vineyard Chardonnay, brisk in acidity, and ultra-clean despite the richness. Shows exotic tropical fruit, white peach and sweet vanilla flavors, with a fine minerality.  

      

Clayhouse Syrah '09

Paso Robles, California

This Syrah consists of a dark ruby colored wine with slightly floral, meaty notes that give way to rich black cherry, cedar and cola flavors while supported with smooth, luscious tannins and hints of vanilla.  

     

Take a look at this week's complete list here

 

The Wine Bar Cafe offers 2 ounce sampling sizes on all of our  

wines-by-the-glass. You can create your own tasting every day of the week.

Skinny

What about you?

 

it's the real thing 

St. Germain
Elderflower
Liqueur 

 

The world's first liqueur created in the artisanal French manner from freshly handpicked elderflower blossoms. Neither passionfruit nor pear, grapefruit nor lemon, the sublime taste of St-Germain hints at each of these and yet none of them exactly. It is a flavor as subtle and delicate as it is captivating. A little like asking a hummingbird to describe the flavor of its favorite nectar. The taste is divine and  the possibilities are endless...

Très curieux indeed, n'est-ce pas?
