The 5th annual Slow Wine event in New York, held this year on February 3rd at NYC's Highline Ballroom, will commence with a joint press conference with the Italian Trade Commission to kick off VINO Italian Wine Week (12 p.m. – 1 p.m.) followed by a walk-around trade tasting (1 p.m. – 5 p.m.) and a consumer event in the evening (from 7 p.m. – 10:00). The event will also feature the release of the new Slow Wine mobile app.
