Standing Stone is not quite on the same high plate...

Standing Stone is not quite on the same high plateau as Kemmeter, Boundary Breaks, and HJW (the latter of which now owns SS), but it is close. They are definitely one of the top wineries in the Finger Lakes. I had an enjoyable tasting there with a friendly and intelligent pour-master, who let me try a good number of their offerings. All were good to excellent, especially the Rieslings. Their reds are remarkably promising, probably needing a bit more age but encouraging nonetheless. I wish I had gotten to taste some of their ice wines, which impressed me when I first visited in 2012, but no matter. This was quite a pleasant experience and everything I witnessed suggests that they will continue to provide quality wines, especially under the aegis of HJW. Well worth a visit.
