Oxto AI

If you want to taste what a Master of Wine does with Finger Lakes fruit, this is your stop. Nova's Chardonnays especially stand apart from the lake's typical style—one reviewer said it was different from any other FLX Chardonnay they'd tried, and they're right. The space is built for conversation, not crowds.

About

Nova Cadamatre earned her Master of Wine before opening Trestle Thirty One, making her the first American woman to hold the title while making wine commercially. That pedigree shows in every glass. Her Chardonnays break the Finger Lakes mold—less butter and oak, more precision and tension. The Pinot Noirs are equally considered, with structure that rewards patient drinkers. The tasting lounge in Geneva feels more like a private sitting room than a tasting bar, with different seating configurations depending on whether you want a quick pour or a deep dive into library vintages. Staff walk you through side-by-side comparisons and talk methodology without dumbing it down. This is dog-friendly fine wine—rare enough to be worth the drive.
