Slow Wine Guide USA 2025 Accolades
“This is a great set of data with clear writing and will be really useful for wine drinkers in the U.S. or even professionals looking for a ready reference of wineries that they’d like to stock that hold an ethos of sanity in what is an insane world.”
The idea here (and it’s one I can readily get behind), is to showcase 400 wineries who are producing “good, clean and fair” wines. Are all of them certified organic? Interestingly, no, but there is a required base to the farming and production practices (no chemically-synthesized herbicides for example) that needs to be met to be included. A great guide that’s much needed for people wishing to drink more sustainable, as much for the planet as for themselves. – Miquel Hudin, Hudin.com
“The best resource I can recommend…”
The best resource I can recommend is the Slow Wine Guide, an annual publication that vets wineries for a range of ecological criteria. The guide recommends wineries that do not use chemically synthesized [herbicides] (like Roundup), and also checks for things like water use, sustainably constructed buildings, and intervention during the winemaker process. – Esther Mobley, San Francisco Chronicle
“Highlights organic farming practices…”
I am grateful for this resource that highlights organic farming practices and commitment to growing and
producing wine with integrity. – Kelly Danewood, CEO, California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF)
“An excellent resource for discovering…”
“The Slow Wine Guide is an excellent resource for discovering those winegrowers who have a true and deep commitment to their land, their people, their community and our planet. They are aligned in their desire to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do, and to inspire others through their actions. Spottswoode is proud to be among those preserving the viability of our agriculturally based businesses in the time of climate change.” – Beth Novak Milliken, President & CEO, Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery
“The wine resource for our times”
“Slow Wine Guide is for everyone who values sustainability, transparency, and diversity. It is the wine resource for our times.” – Susan R. Lin, MSW
