Greetings!

It seems hard to believe that Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away. While we've had some rain and a little gray, it has been a glorious Fall.  Many of our customers are taking advantage of this last spat of warmth with camping trips to Turkey Run and of course there's always another round of last minute yard work to do. 

If you're in town this weekend, we invite you to spend some time with us at Sun Singer.  We've got a fun tasting this Saturday with new features fresh from last month's 8th Annual Gala. We invite you to stop by, taste wine and have some lunch or dinner.

With International Stout Day last Thursday we've decided to continue the celebration through Monday. This is no doubt the beginning of stout weather - and we're offering over 20 stouts from which to choose.

Finally, with the upcoming holidays on your mind, it's a great time to start gathering those gift ideas. You can do it all at Sun Singer. Welook forward to seeing you this weekend!     
 
Enjoy Fall's Beauty!

Hey Santa! Special Pricing
Silver Oak Alexander Valley 2006  

The 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines full body and richness with moderate alcohol. It has a garnet color and a nose of cassis liqueur, nutmeg and dark chocolate. On the palate, it has a rich, mouth-coating attack, great expression of fruit, a full-body and beautifully integrated tannins that lead to a long, spicy finish. Given proper cellaring, this wine will give drinking pleasure through 2026.     

Vintage Description
The 2006 winter and spring were marked by heavy rains: March had the most rain days on record. Indeed the early season was quite wet and the rains extended well into April. The weather became dry and warm by late spring and bloom conditions were ideal. The early summer will be remembered for a searing 10-day heat wave in July, but August and September were mild, which coupled with normal yields led to a slow prolonged ripening. We began picking in Alexander Valley on September 12th and concluded harvest on October 17th.

Limited Edition!
Bonal Gentiane Quina Aperitif Wine

Since 1865, this delicious aperitif wine has stood apart for its exceptional complexity, delightful flavors and stimulating palate. Serious to its role as aperitif, it was known as "ouvre l'appétit" - the key to the appetite. Found popular with sportsmen, Bonal became an early sponsor of the Tour de France. It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renown herbs of the Grand Chartreuse mountains in a Mistelle base. Traditionally enjoyed neat or with a twist; also may enhance classic drinks in place of sweet red vermouth.

Bottles produced: 480
