Dear
Members,
March has indeed been a
busy month for the society,
with the well attended AGM
and dinner followed closely
by the highly regarded Domaine
Pierre Usseglio Dinner.
We hosted Thierry Usseglio
and his wife Sandrine over
a sumptuous dinner at the
Conrad hotel and they were
suitably impressed by how
knowledgeable and enthusiastic
IWFS members were about
their wines.
My thanks goes to event
organizer Dr. David Jen
for organising such a wonderful
event.
Continuity of IWFS Secretariat
I am pleased to inform that
for purposes of continuity,
your vice president, CT
Chen has agreed to continue
to maintain the IWFS Secretariat.
Accordingly, booking of
events, conrmation of reservations
and collection of cheques
will continue to be handled
by CT. My thanks to CT for
agreeing to handle these
important administrative
matters to ensure greater
convenience for all
members.
April Event- Bins' End Night
Our ever-popular annual
Bin-End evening returns
this year at The Tanglin
Club (Raes Room). A wide
range of white and red wines
will be available for members
to try, including a guaranteed
pour from one out of a selection
of three premium wines:
1978 Chateau Pavie, 1978
Chateau Gruaud-Larose and
1985 Chateau Troplong-Mondot.
And while the society's
wines that will
be featured (complete list
below) will already make
for quite good spirits,
we will also have, as in
recent years, representatives
from the wine trade to exhibit
their wines.
As for the food, we're going
one better this year by
arranging not just a light
buet and spread of nger
foods prepared by the
Club's chef, but also a
live carving station with
roast leg of lamb and a
melted raclette cheese station.
In order to get as many
members to attend as possible,
and in particular, to encourage
you to bring guests who
might want to join the Society,
we have decided to join
in the ght against ination
by keeping the price unchanged
from last year at only $98
per member and $110 per
guest for what promises
to be a very interesting
and enjoyable evening.
