Dear Members,

On 12th August 1965, 6 expatriates held the very first General Committee meeting of the Wine and Food Society, Singapore Branch. They discussed the Rules of the Society and planned their 'Inaugural Dinner': a French-themed dinner for 50 members at The Adelphi Hotel on the 14th October 1965 which cost $40.00 per person. They drank a case of the 'Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de Las Cases 1955 costing $13.50 per bottle and another case of the Corton Clos du Roi 1959 costing $11.40 per bottle.

Six decades of shared passion, discovery and conviviality. We celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the IWFS of Singapore. Since 1965 IWFS has cultivated a unique fellowship, nurtured palates and championed culinary arts in Singapore

For our Diamond Jubilee( and National Day) , we intend to express the “International” in IWFS with a presentation of wines from the whole world as well as to present wines coming from the 60s,70s,80s,90s and 2000s to celebrate our 60 years of existence. Daniel and Julie from our committee have curated a special menu to pair with our wines and are organizing this spectacular event.

Cudo located in Stanley Street serves modern Latin Comfort Food inspired by modern Latin American cuisine, turned sideways. Cudo’s menu is mostly inspired by chef Steven Chou’s years growing up and cooking across New York and New Jersey. Warm textured walls, vintage decor and ambient lighting give Cudo a nostalgic flair.
