Happy birthday to Berenice Abbott (1898-1991), born on July 17, 1898. Known for her portraits of cultural figures and photographs of New York City architectural landmarks, Abbott documented contrasting geometric shapes created by the contours of buildings using unusual camera angles. In her photograph of Murray Hill Hotel, Spiral, 112 Park Avenue, 1935, newer architectural forms are juxtaposed against an older building across the street to create a jazzy interplay of disparate elements as a visual metaphor for the essence of the city.

We often crave a bit of drama to spark the everyday—
but life rarely follows a fairytale script.

Yet in its quiet, unpredictable rhythm,

there’s beauty, wonder, and hidden harmony.

Slow Wine Guide USA is a new and revolutionary guide to the wines of California, Oregon, New York, and Washington. 🍷

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 this beverage.

Each winery receives a review divided in three sections: the first one is dedicated to the people who live and work at the winery, the second to the vineyards and the way they’re farmed, and 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.
