点评:Our new favorite winery in the Finger Lakes.
We came across Shalestone while doing a search online for dry reds and decided to stop by when they opened. Turns out it was their first day open for the 2026 season and they had a tasting spot open for their first tasting, so we got lucky on both accounts.
Tastings are offered "on the hour" in the afternoons during business hours and I highly recommend making a reservation. This is the type of tasting where you sit, savor, and listen to the presentations on each wine. No rushing customers through, no large groups, and the employees do a great job of connecting with their customers.
Shalestone is a small family run boutique style winery that only does red wine. The wine and the atmosphere reminds me of our favorite boutique winery in the Napa Valley.
I believe we tasted 7 wines, all of which had their own specific profile and nuances. Too often at other wineries the reds all taste the same, but not at Shalestone. While we purchased a variety of their wines, our favorite is their Syrah! Absolutely delicious with all characteristics one would want in this full bodied red.
I highly recommend making a visit to Shalestone when in the Finger Lakes if you want to enjoy mouth watering red wines.

我们在网上搜索干红葡萄酒时偶然发现了Shalestone酒庄,于是决定在他们开门营业时去看看。结果发现那天是他们2026年酿酒季的第一天,而且他们还特意安排了品酒活动,我们真是幸运极了。
品酒活动在营业时间的下午每小时举行一次,我强烈建议提前预约。这种品酒方式让你可以坐下来,细细品味,聆听每款酒的介绍。这里不会催促顾客,也不会接待大型团体,而且员工们都非常善于与顾客交流。
Shalestone是一家小型家族式精品酒庄,只酿造红葡萄酒。这里的葡萄酒和氛围让我想起了我们在纳帕谷最喜欢的那家精品酒庄。
我们品尝了7款酒,每一款都有其独特的风味和细微差别。很多时候,其他酒庄的红葡萄酒尝起来都差不多,但在Shalestone却截然不同。我们购买了他们家的多种葡萄酒,最喜欢的是他们的西拉!这款酒口感醇厚,完美展现了这款酒体饱满的红葡萄酒应有的所有特质,绝对美味。
如果您想品尝令人垂涎的红葡萄酒,我强烈推荐您在游览五指湖区时去沙尔斯通酒庄 (Shalestone) 一趟。
