International Wine and Food Society - London Branch

International Wine and Food Society - London Branch We are the London Branch of IWFS and we organise great w**e
tasting and food experiences. It was founded in 1933 by André L. New members are welcome.

The International W**e and Food Society is the world's oldest and most renowned open gastronomic society. Its key purpose is the promotion of a greater understanding and pleasure in good food, good w**e and good company. Simon CBE, Legion d'Honneur, who was a dedicated and knowledgeable gourmet and a superb connoisseur of fine w**es. There are more than 6,000 members, from all walks of life, in over 135 branches and 40 countries throughout the world. The society is organised in three Regions; The European and African Region, The Asian Pacific Region and The Americas Region. The IWFS is described by The Oxford Companion to W**e as "The oldest and most cosmopolitan of the gastronomic societies for consumers rather than professionals ... Now much imitated." Our branch is a friendly group of individuals who simply enjoy good food and w**e. You can find us at https://www.iwfs.london or email [email protected]

Following on from our very successful lunch last year. IWFS London members will be returning to 28º–50º Marylebone for another lunch in early November.

The 28°-50° W**e Workshop & Kitchen concept takes the traditional w**e bar experience to a whole new level, with impeccable food and extensive w**e choices served in stylish surroundings, at the south end of Marylebone Lane.

Lunch will be three courses created with skill and imagination by the highly talented Executive Chef from the seasonally changing, modern European menu. W**e pairings will be provided by the sommeliers.

Please join us for what promises to be an excellent lunch.

Those IWFS London Branch members who were able to make it spent a hugely enjoyable weekend in Manchester at the Europe and Africa region AGM and members forum. We were treated to exceptionally good food and w**e in some iconic Manchester venues. It was great to meet so many colleagues from around the region and to make new friends.

A huge thank-you to our hosts, the Manchester branch of IWFS, for such a warm welcome and such fine hospitality.

IWFS London members are very much looking forward to tasting some exceptional mature w**es courtesy of a longstanding IWFS member and member of the National Guild of W**e and B**r Judges.

An uncatalogued case, discovered in the member’s cellar, was found to contain a number of real treasures. Maturity is the unifying factor and the makers vary from world-famous to little known. One rarely gets to taste an English sparkling w**e 26 years old, or a Barolo 50 years old. The flight of sweet w**es includes Vin de Constance, once the most famous w**e in the world, and a Vin Santo by Contini Bonacossi.

Nyetimber Premiére Cuvée Chardonnay Brut, Blanc de Blancs, 2000, West Sussex
Vigneto Villero Castiglione Barolo, Ceretto, Alba, Italy, 1976
R J Delatite Limited Edition Reserve Blend 2006, Victoria, Australia
Château Léoville Barton 2001, Saint-Julien, Bordeaux
The Paradox 2007, Bothy Vineyards, Frilford Heath, Oxfordshire
Rooibergse Koop Wygnmakery Muskadel Superior, 1986 Vinkrivier, Robertson, South Africa
Banchereau Coteaux du Layon Saint-Aubin de Luigné 1988
Domaine de L’Ancienne Cure, Montbazilliac Cuvée Abbaye 1995
Vin de Constance, 2000, Klein Constantia, South Africa
Capezzana Vin Santo de Carmignano Reserve, 2003, Nobil Casa Contini Bonacossi

The tasting will be accompanied by a cold buffet.
