The long sunny afternoons on the east side of Seneca lake aren’t just ideal for helping later ripening varieties like Saperavi and Cabernet Sauvignon fully develop, they also lead to a stunning golden hour!

Tuna Toast on Brioche + 2024 Standing Stone Chardonnay 🤌

The riper style of this Chardonnay leans into the brioche while the acidity pairs well with the richness of the tuna.

Some places just make you want to stay a while…

“Saperavi has all the markings of a ‘great’ w**e grape – distinctive, bold flavor profile, well-structured, age worthy, adaptable, expresses well across many styles, comfortable in most fermentation regimes. What can’t it do, and do well, other than make a blanc de noir?”

W**e educator and self proclaimed “recovering floor somm” Josh loves pouring Saperavi almost as much as he loves a nerdy w**e joke.

“While it’s easy to focus on the distinctive teinturier aspect of Saperavi, I find the varietal to be of interest for many other reasons. It is a grape that produces structured w**es with firm tannins and excellent acidity. It is emphatically dark-fruited with an herbal and earthy undertone. It’s structure lends it to extended aging where these flavors evolve and gain nuances while maintaining brightness. Add to these qualities the ability to express well across many styles – sparkling to still to fortified, dry to sweet – and its climate hardiness, and you end up with a grape that can wear many hats. It begins to beg the question of whether we have gone much beyond scratching the surface. It’s the possibilities that I find most intriguing.”
