Episode 027: The Slow Wine Movement...Today
This week we're unwinding with Deborah Parker Wong, the inspiring woman at the helm of the Slow Wine Guide.
About Slow Wine:
Formally born in Italy, the Slow Wine movement recognizes wineries that respect and reflect their local terroir and practice sustainable methods that benefit the environment.
The Slow Wine Guide evaluates over 400 different wineries and personally interviews each one in order to create a well-informed, detailed review of the wines themselves and the people behind the production.
"Slow Wine looks to tell their genesis stories, explain how their growing stance positively coincides with the environment, and offers thoughtful tasting notes beyond the ubiquitous “cherry notes” and “nicely structured” phrasing." - Mark Stock
