From candies and chocolate to wine accessories and gadgets to a last minute Deli party platter or a special gift basket for Cousin Minnie let us be your go-to place these last few days before Christmas.  Why not steal a moment of good cheer at our Wine Bar Cafe with glass of wine or specialty cocktail and a friend of two?
 
Sun Singer will be open until 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. 
We'll be closed Christmas Day and reopen Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.
 
Moet & Chandon, Laurent-Perrier, Graham Beck, Henri Abele - we've restocked our Champagne and Sparkling selections just this morning. Sparkling is always a perfect accompaniment for celebration as well as a perfect gift.
 

Come by and see us soon and see us often this season.  You'll never fail to bump into someone you know.  Remember that our Wine Bar Café is a great place to wind up and wind down your celebrations or just recharge.   Enjoy the new flavors of our Winter menu and ever changing selection of wines to which you've grown to love.  Our Gourmet Deli has everything you need to fill your pantry with treats for your holiday parties.

Who's Your Santa!
Stocking Stuffers & Gifts
We're just touching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gifts for all those wine lovers on your list. Come in and see for yourself!

ZingZang Bloody Mary Mix
Give your Christmas morning a kick start! A first place winner in the "Fiery Food Challenge" in New Mexico, ZingZang is about as close to homemade as a bottle can be. It's thick and rich, with hefty tomato and garlic flavors. There's a slight lemon and vinegar tang to it as well, with heavy doses of cayenne and black pepper providing some serious heat all the way through. It has an impressively beefy taste, with chunks of spices floating around in the mix. Great with vodka or beer, it was easily the best of the class, though perhaps a bit hard to find in some areas and not a great choice for anyone too sensitive to spice.


Stainless Glacier Whiskey Rocks
Glacier rocks are a great and easy way to cool your drinks without diluting them. Made from stainless steel, these rocks won't scratch your glassware. The best part? They'll never alter the flavor of your drink.


Moet & Chandon Imperial Splits 

Formerly known as White Star, this balanced blend of the three vine varieties reveals a harmonious succession of sensations, a soft maturity, elegant lines, offering you sensations which can be shared and celebrated at any time. Sun Singer also offers additional styles in split and half bottle sizes including Laurent-Perrier and,Segura Viudas Rose and Freixenet. Half bottles of still wines are also available and waiting to stuff the socks of those you love this holiday.


Vacu-Vin Wine Saver 

The one and only, original Vacu-Vin, used in more than 10 million homes worldwide, is the easiest, most affordable way to preserve opened wines. The Vacu-Vin pump removes the air (and the oxygen that spoils wine) from opened bottles. Place it over the reusable stopper and pump out the air. The more stoppers you have, the more bottles you can save! One-year warranty. Includes one pump and two stoppers.

Holiday Confectionary
Sun Singer has a selection of high quality chocolate treats. Consider specialty items like gourmet topped chocolate covered Birch log pretzels, rich dark chocolate peppermint bark or creamy white peppermint bark from Long Grove Confectionery. Many other delectible items are available to choose from such as Christmas Crunch from South Bend Chocolate Company.

NEARLY NOSTALGIA
Party Cup for Grown-ups

 

Spark some nostaglic memories of those study days and party nights in college when the grocery store clerk knew immediately what was happening when you stood in the checkout line with several arm loads of those ubiquitous red plastic cups. A party was about to happen, and it would be raucous... 

 

A Ceramic Version Of The Iconic Party Cup Based on the design of the classic party cup, these porcelain "Party" cups look shockingly similar to the original disposable ones.  Great for cold drinks or even a toothbrush or pencil holder.

Hey Santa!
2009 Carter Hossfeld Coliseum Blend 


Sitting on the top section of the Hossfeld vineyard site is a small piece of Merlot planted on fractional rock outcroppings with very shallow soil. The fruit produced from these vines produces quite possibly the best mountainside Merlot in the southern Napa Valley. The addition of 2 barrels of Hossfeld Coliseum Cabernet Sauvignon make this blend stand out more than just the Merlot on its own, creating an intoxicating blend. A graceful nose containing blueberries, crème de cassis and milk chocolate soars from the glass and greets the senses. These notes are carried through the mid palate where they are wrapped in velvety tannins and a smooth rich delivery. While lighter in texture then the Cabernet Sauvignon from this vineyard, a sense of power is achieved through deft extraction from the pea size berries these vines produce. For the curious this wine will drink well young but will hit its stride in 3-5 years. 
 
This one will be remembered! 
 
Get Charged

A great gift for any wine loving Santa on your list.
 

Santa Extraordinaire

 

ZD Wines Abacus 

Cabernet Sauvignon

6th bottling

napa valley, california

 

Abacus is the ultimate Cabernet Sauvignon, combining the best qualities of an aged wine with the best of a youthful wine, together in one sumptuous mouthful. Incredible depth and complexity along with a deep, lingering finish are backed by an intense fruit character.

 

Abacus is a "solera style" multiple-vintage blend of every ZD Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ever produced, which is held in barrel until bottling. This is the ongoing cycle of the ever-evolving solera; each year Abacus will increase by one vintage, gaining more and more complexity. It truly stands as a legacy to all future ZD winemakers.
