Standing Stone 2008 Ice Riesling (Finger Lakes)
-
$25
Intensely aromatic of honey, wildflowers and juicy, sweet tangerines, this is a gorgeously complex icewine that balances richness with concentrated flavor and a nervy acidity. Deep gold in color, this silky-smooth elixir carries mouthwatering notes of citrus, honey and flowers all the way through its super-long finish.

Standing Stone 2000 Gewürztraminer (Finger Lakes)
Solid varietal Gewurztraminer, brimming with grapefruit, litchee, lemon, melon, fig, spice and anise flavors. It's bright and fresh, yet full and lush on the palate, finishing with a long, mineral edge. Delicious.

Standing Stone 2007 Riesling (Finger Lakes)

$14
A leader in Finger Lakes Rieslings (and wines in general), Standing Stone offers a lovely white with aromas of white flowers, lemon and peach. The overall balance of fruit, citrus, spice and acid gives the wine a delicate but serious touch. On the finish, spice and lemon prevail. Great wine with a touch of playfulness.
