Slow Wine USA Guide 2024: A year in the life of the vineyards and wines of the USA

Slow Wine US is a new and revolutionary guide to the wines of California, Oregon, New York and Washington. Thanks to the help of a handful of expert contributors, we've selected the best wineries from each state and reviewed their most outstanding bottles.

The idea behind Slow Wine is simple: it acknowledges the unique stories of people and vineyards, of grape varieties and landscapes, and of their wines. The awareness that wine is more than just liquid in a glass helps wine lovers make better, more conscious choices and enhances the very enjoyment of these products.

Since its beginnings in Italy thirteen years ago, Slow Wine has combined its tasting sessions with equally important moments of exchange and debate with producers. The direct contact to winegrowers and winemakers allows for a genuine, authentic and always up-to-date report on what's happening in America's vineyards and cellars.

The contents

Each winery receives a review divided in three sections: the first one dedicated to the people who live and work at the winery, the second to the vineyards and the way they're farmed, the third to the finest wines currently available on the market.

The very best wines are awarded the Top Wine accolade. Among these we have the Slow Wines - which beyond their outstanding sensory quality are of particular interest for their sense of place, environmental sustainability or historical value - and the Everyday Wines, representing excellent value at prices within 30$.

The most interesting wineries on the other hand are awarded the Snail, for the way they interpret Slow Food values (sensory perceptions, territory, environment, identity) while offering good value for money; the Bottle, to wineries whose wines are of outstanding sensory quality throughout the range; the Coin to those estates offering excellent value for money.
