Slow Wine Tasting

This Monday, the 30th, from 6:30 to 9pm, the Metropolitan Pavilion will be hosting a tasting of 140 different wines, all of which are featured in this years first ever English publication.  The Pavilion is at 125 W. 18th Street.  Admission: $42, includes a copy of the guide.

Slow Wine is a branch of the Slow Food movement that started in Piedmont in the 80s.  It is an evaluation of wineries that takes into account key factors such as viticultural practices and sustainability.  The Slow Wine Guide is the closest you can get to walking through Italy's vineyards without buying a flight.
