Torres Wine Club. Future of the Wine Industry
On the 3rd of April, I participated in the 3rd meeting of the Torres Wine Club with Brenda Sanchez, Brand Ambassador of Familia Torres, co-organized by Winokąt at Flaming Bistro in Warsaw. This time the topic was the future of the wine industry, which sparked a lively discussion. Except for a solid dose of knowledge about different ways in which Familia Torres tries to cut their carbon footprint, we had the chance to try vegetarian and vegan dishes paired with Familia Torres wines.

Cracow. Confetti Wine Fest. Natural Wines Festival 2022
Wow! Last week was very busy for the wine industry and enthusiasts! After completing Capstone California Level 1 with Adam Pawłowski and a great festival of German Rieslings & Co. I went to Cracow for the Confetti Wine Fest. 60 producers of natural wines and many more wine lovers visited sunny Cracow on Saturday. This was only the second edition of the Festival after the inauguration in 2019. The mandatory break due to the C-19 pandemic was well used by the organizers to prepare something exceptional to cover up for the lost time. And what an excellent comeback it was!
