Standing Stone Vineyards is located on the east shore of Seneca in a very nice location. For the nice land, good sun exposure, and good quality of their neighbors' wines, they managed to butcher many of the region's mainstay varieties. Their strongest showings were their dry Vidal and Vidal ice wines. The tasting experience and offerings were clearly geared towards the less serious crowd. Nothing is wrong with that per se, but it would have been helpful to know ahead of time... The blue-haired (as in colored, not old) tasting attendant was painfully ignorant of the wines, generally loud, and insistent that the Standing Stone wine club was the best thing since sliced bread. We will not be returning.
