Gusto 2003 Dinner |
This
event proved to be our largest and most significant
wine function of the year. About 60 Italian
winemakers and winery representatives were
in Singapore on the 8th and 9th of February
2003 to present their wines. Each of them
brought between 4 to 8 wines to showcase at
the tasting event, which was held over two
days. The first day’s tasting was exclusively
for people in the wine trade, as well as for
members of the IWFSS. The second day was opened
to the paying public.
The culmination was the Gusto 2003 Dinner,
an IWFSS organized event where an amazing
55 wines were served. Each winery donated
a case of their best wines for the dinner,
and there were so many wines that even with
190 members and guests in attendance, the
dinner had to be divided into three sections,
each being served with their own list of about
20 wines. All 55 wines were also placed on
the side, so that those who were not sufficiently
inebriated could help themselves to the wines
which they were not served. Moreover, the
event was not just about quantity. The quality
of the wines were very impressive as well,
and many members were very pleased with what
they tasted. It was certainly a memorable
night of great wine, food, fellowship and
wine education. |
