Complimentary Wine Tastings Every Saturday 12Noon - 4:00pm
Greetings fellows tasters! Believe me, summer is approaching even if we don’tn see it yet. That’s why we keep showcasing wines that could be a great pairing with those long evenings or barbecue food. We’ll start with the Sonoma Cutrer Sauvignon Blanc, with a citrusy finish; then we’ll have the Rose from La Genestiere, straight from the pays d’OC in Southwest France; followed by Chateau Nicot from Bordeaux; and we’ll finish with a wine I always liked, from Marietta Vineyard: Christo, a gorgeous Rhone style red blend from Geyseville, California. Take care all!

Greetings Fellow Tasters! We’ll start the tasting on this beautiful sunny day with a semi-dry German white wine, in the style of a Prosecco; then we’ll savour a Verdejo from the Rueda appelation; and as summer approaches we at Sun Singer love to enjoy our Rose wines, so we’ll continue our saga with a lovely dry Rose from Provence from the Bunan family, made with Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Finally, the Superb Protos Tinto Fino, 100% Tempranillo will conclude the Tasting. Enjoy folks!

Greetings my friends ! For the Tasting today I will pour only Spanish wines from the Rioja, Calatayud, Jumilla and Bierzo appelations. I will bring a map of these regions, because it helps to know where all those appelations are located, right? We’ll start with the White Muga, then we’ll have a Rose with Tres Ojos, followed by El Goro Gold blend with a mad, hairy fellow on the label (!) , and we’ll finish with the Castro Ventosa from Bierzo.
Cheers, my friends!
