New at the Bar
Left Hand
Fade to Black, Vol. 3
Imagine Robert DeNiro sitting in your darkened parlour near the fire in his Louis Cyphre persona smoking a Tuscan cigar. This may be the beer with which to save (or lose) your soul. Dried fruit flavors entwined with smoky pepper and licorice embossed on roasty malt sweetness open on your tongue as the slow warmth of chilis creep up on your tongue and throat, finishing in an herbal smoke ring flourish.


It's got to make
you curious!


Greetings!

How was your Thanksgiving?  We've heard some good stories of the holiday from friends going to and from Sun Singer. Thanksgiving seems to be a favorite of many. One thing we notice is that as the holidays approach, more and more people seem run into someone they haven't seen for a time, striking up conversations and exchanges if only for a brief moment.  

Being just a day away from December 1st,we wanted to remind you of the specials that will be expiring at the end of the month. There's no time like the present to take advantage of these values and be one step further ahead in your holiday enjoyment.

To the  Holidays!

Mark, Jackie & the Sun Singer Staff

Mark Carter's goal was to create the best Napa Cabernet that could be made. Nils Venge, the superstar winemaker responsible for receiving the first "perfect score" on a domestic wine from Robert M. Parker Jr. while at Groth in 1985, seemed like the perfect match on this quest for perfection ...>>>

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....>>>  

What's New
Johnnie Walker Double Black
Johnnie Walker Double Black is the newest addition to the Johnnie Walker family of Scotch whiskies. It was formerly only available in global duty-free shops, but it's just been released, for a limited time, to the Illinois market.

"Since debuting in Duty Free shops globally, there has been great excitement around Johnnie Walker Double Black. We've received countless inquiries on our Facebook page and at House of Walker tastings asking when it will be available in the United States," said Adam Rosen, Diageo Brand Director, Scotch Whisky Portfolio. "People want to try it. They are attracted to what the blend offers by being Black Label, amplified. As with all of our Johnnie Walker blends, we ask that adults enjoy responsibly." ...>>>
