SUMMARY:CWW - Let's talk about... Sustainability in Jerez and beyond\, with Victoria González-Gordon
DESCRIPTION:The next of the Circle’s Let’s talk about… webinars will focus on how the crucial challenge of sustainability is being faced in Spain\, in both the sherry heartland and other wine-producing regions. As usual\, the webinar is on a Tuesday at 5pm UK time\, with advance registration.  \nVictoria González-Gordon\, fifth generation member of the González Byass wine family\, is responsible for leading all the company’s sustainability practices\, a responsibility she took on in 2022 after directing the international marketing department for more than 15 years. \nFrom its beginnings in Jerez in 1835\, González Byass has grown to today’s 14 wineries\, producing premium wines and spirits in Spain\, Chile\, and Mexico. Central to all it does is the preservation of the natural environment for the generations to come. \nOne current example of this commitment is the Vineyard Angel project launched in 2021\, an initiative seeking to retrieve\, maintain and preserve Spain’s old vineyards. Work is already underway at sites in Rueda and Penedès and more will be added. Much else besides – from biological plant health treatment to provision of free solar-powered electric vehicle charging points at its wineries – contributes to the company’s sustainability programme. Join Victoria to learn more. \nSee gonzalezbyass.com/int-en/sostenibilidad \nTo join this seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on Tuesday 15th October. The session\, including Q&As\, will last for approximately one hour. To register\, follow the link below. Guests will be very welcome\, but please let Andrea know their names. \nRegister here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcuivrzwrEtbIJ7UerGBJjU7kGJU4zUcr \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nWe look forward to seeing you then. \nIf you can’t attend the live session\, there will be a recording available to watch afterwards on the Circle’s YouTube channel (links to this and earlier sessions are in the members’ area of the website). \nMichèle Shah & Liz Sagues\, CWW online events organisers \nUnfortunately\, the final event this month\, the live tasting of the 2023 Virginia Governor’s Cup Case in London\, on October 21st has had to be postponed as the presenter\, Frank Morgan\, is unexpectedly unable to travel to the UK.  We hope to reschedule it early next year. Meanwhile\, watch out for invitations for the November Let’s talk about sessions\, to be held on the 5th and 19th\, when we’ll travel to Italy and Cyprus. \n
