Greetings fellow tasters…!
We only have 11 days until Christmas from today! I wish for you to have your shopping go well and on track. I know…I know… the snow is making everything complicated. But at Sun Singer we decided to taste wine regardless of the the amount of snow! So… we’ll start with a great sparkling from the CAVA appelation in Spain made by Federico Paternina; then we’ll have an interesting white from Chile called Mayu, made with the Pedro Ximenez grape. We’ll travel after to Italy with an easy red blend, Sella Antica, and we’ll finish with an intense and fruity cabernet from Napa Valley, Lion Tamer.

Happy Holidays!!
Votre Serviteur,
Laurent

Greetings fellow tasters!
I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and a good week! If you‘re having one of those “Deja-Vu” moments, you are totally right. There is nothing wrong with you! This coming Saturday, December 6th, we are tasting exactly the same wine as last week, November 29th. The reason is because weather was so bad that we are giving you the chance to taste those superb wines again! Isn’t it a good feeling to taste delicious wines while it’s a little cold outside? We’ll start with a Beaujolais Nouveau Rose, followed by the Schmitt and Sohne Piesporter Spatlese. Just two delicious wines! We’ll taste more fruits with the Red Beaujolais Nouveau, then we’ll finish with a great Cabernet Sauvignon from Healdsburg, California, the 2019 StoneStreet Cabernet Sauvignon. The Master of Ceremony will be Doug himself, our wine Manager!
Happy Holidays !

Greetings my fellow tasters! As we’re approaching Thanksgiving, we’re having our third installment of wine pairings with the Holiday meal and you will not be disappointed. We start with Yealands Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, followed by the ZD Chardonnay, and the Pinot Noir. Both are amazing wines on their own and would make a fine pairing at a great price! We finish the tasting with the Sin Zin from Alexander Valley Vineyards and its lively aromas of black cherry, pepper, vanilla and oak. Cheers my friends!

Greetings fellow tasters! Do you feel the holiday tremors already? And you’re already stressing about it? Well… we have a remedy here at Sun Singer: it is called a Wine Tasting! This week we’ll start with a white blend from the Languedoc region in France… silky and savory; we'll continue with a white made solely with the Roussane grape, in the same spectrum as the previous one but with a little more spice to it. Our third wine is called the Custodian, made by d’Arenberg, with one grape: Grenache. Critics agree it is smoooth….We’ll finish with the Merlot made by Alexander Valley Vineyards: certified sutainable, well balanced, fruity with fine tannins. Join us and relax this Saturday from Noon to Four!
Cheers!

Today’s tasting is the first installment of our series about wine pairing and Thanksgiving dinner. We start with a delightful Albarino from Spain, from the Rias Baixas appellation, that has a little saltiness in the finish, followed by a dry Pinot Gris made by Kracher, in the Burgenland in Austria. From there we‘ll have the Carnemere made by Las Ninas, in Chile: complex with aromas of chocolate, dark fruits, herbs and spices and all of that for $13.99! We’ll finish with the epitome of the Cabernet Sauvignon in Paso Robles: robust dark fruits flavors, oak, solid structure…Certified Sustainable. Quite a finish for the tastimng. No pun intended.Enjoy!

Greetings my friendly fellow tasters! So today’s Saturday 25th tasting is about French grapes…Or is it? I will let you decide and we can talk about it! We’ll start with a Kosher Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand followed by a Semillon from Australia - Hunter Valley to be precise! Now the third wine is from France, (finally) an elegant and silky Cabernet Franc from the Bourgeuil appelation that is dear to me beside the Rhone wines… And we finish the tasting with a Roederer Estate Sparkling Wine, which tastes just like a Champagne… It is not a Champagne, but made by subsidiary of the famous French Chamapgne House… All that can be pretty confusing, right?
Come over and we’ll talk about it!
Sincerely,
Laurent

Greetings my fellow Taster! Fall is slowly but surely moving forward and we’ll have to adjust. I don’t know about you but I am not ready… I am still longing for a peaceful moment on my back patio drinking some white or Rose! Therefore we’ll start with an interesting white blend from ABC winery in Santa Barbara County, a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc; then we’ll try the Peyrassol Rose, whose vineyard is located between my native town, Marseille and Cannes. Following is a juicy Montepulciano d’Abbruzzo, and we'll finish with an organic Chianti : Fontella that is as good as it is affordable. A votre Sante!

Greetings my friends! Yes! for today’s tasting, Saturday, we’ll be having… a beer! But… we’ll start with a Verdejo from the Rueda appelation quite tasty, then we’ll have a Rose from Brignolles in Provence, whose vines are planted so close to the Mediterranean sea they almost taste and smell like pebbles and sea salt. After that Punto Final will be our Red de Rigueur today. It is quite a Malbec; finally…Yes! We’ll finish that tasting with a Beer! Sacrilege! But it is quite a beer and we are not afraid to try something that rich and well aged.
