We were welcomed by Miguel Torres Maczassek,<\/em> the 5th generation of a family and the general manager of the wine empire.\u00a0 The accomplished Spanish winemaker passionately\u00a0<\/span>shared how the\u00a0Torres family has addressed issues social, environmental and economic sustainability, and by combining the traditions inherited by his ancestors, will provide the constant innovation to lead the future. The session is moderated by local wine reviewer and writer, Anthony Gismondi<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
