This July we are proud to present Alba Torres from 99 Sushi.
Part of BOCA’s takeover schedule for 7 SOMMS IN 7 WEEKS, each week, for one night only, a sommelier from a list of 7 extraordinary individuals collaborate with Chef Patricia Roig, BOCA’s Executive Chef, and Shiv Menon, Head of Hospitality & Wine, to curate a menu of five courses paired with five wines, presented exclusively to 12 guests in BOCA’s private cellar.
The menu will reflect the journeys, expertise, and personalities of the sommeliers, weaving narratives from diverse terroirs, grape varieties, and appellations. Emphasizing BOCA’s commitment to sustainability, the event will spotlight stories of winemakers excelling in conservation efforts.

About Alba Torres
Mallorca’s Binissalem vineyards nurtured Alba Torres’ love for wine, instilled by her grandfather’s tradition of expressing love through food and drink. Sharing a table with loved ones, good food, and exquisite wine is her passion. A life-changing sip of L’Astre by David Leclapart at London’s Bubbledogs (gourmet hotdogs with grower champagnes!) sparked her sommelier journey. Here, she learned the power of unconventional pairings. Alba honed her skills at acclaimed London restaurants before venturing to Dubai. She currently leads the team at 99 Sushi Bar, having previously held prestigious roles at Burj Al Arab.Beyond hospitality, Alba’s adventurous spirit takes her to the beach for kitesurfing and scuba diving.
