Italian Slow Wine Event Comes to LA
If you are a supporter - or even just curious about Slow Food International, you will be in luck on January 27th. The 2015 edition of the Slow Wine Guide is throwing a wine tasting event featuring more than 50 Slow Wine producers from 15 Italian wine regions in Los Angeles. And, with the purchase of every ticket, attendees receive a complimentary copy of THE SLOW WINE GUIDE 4th edition (a $25 value) in addition to the opportunity to discover and taste over 100 wines. Even better news: readers of West Hollywood Lifestyle will receive $15.00 off the $60.00 ticket price.
Slow Wine Guide critiques wine through the perspective of the Slow Food philosophy giving prominence to small-scale winemakers who are using traditional techniques, working with respect for the environment and terroir, and safeguarding the incredible biodiversity of grape varieties that are part of Italy’s heritage. Slow Wine is the only Italian wine guide that visits all of the winemakers included in the guide, in their vineyards.
The Slow Wine Guide 2015 English version is a selection of more than 300 of the best wineries. The large majority of the wineries recognized with the Snail or the Slow Wine symbol are certified organic and biodynamic. The guide uses three symbols to evaluate each winery:
THE SNAIL, the Slow Food symbol, signals a cellar that has distinguished itself through its interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the Slow Food philosophy
THE BOTTLE, allocated to cellars that show a consistently high quality throughout their range of wines
THE COIN, an indicator of great value
Parking is available, with mandatory valet, at the Taglyan Complex on Vine Street in Hollywood for a fee of $8.00. To register, click on this link http://www.eventbrite.com/e/slow-wine-us-tour-los-angeles-4th-edition-tickets-14634577415?aff=WeHoLifestyle
