Message from the President |
We
feel that our Society, as the name “International
Wine & Food Society” suggests, should
be one where both food and wine are accorded equal
importance, and not like others where one or the
other prevails. We are the only gastronomic society
in Singapore where both 'food' and 'wine' appears
on our name, and rightly so. We wish to equally
emphasize both the quality of the food as well as
the wine, and we wish to celebrate the virtues of
each. Fine wine must be elegantly balanced, so that
there is harmony and concordance of its constituents,
with no rough edges showing. Our Society should
show similar finesse and balance.
We also endeavor to be 'International' in every
sense of the word. We recognize that no one nation
can claim monopoly to great food, but that every
nation can produce delicious food. The food served
for our functions should therefore be 'International'
because we wish to celebrate the diversity and richness
of each cuisine. Similarly, wine should be enjoyed
in all its variety and our society should savour
and enjoy wine from every wine producing nation.
Most importantly, we wish to emphasize that great
food and wine are only secondary to the most important
ingredient of a good society, which is convivium
and fellowship. No society can be successful if
members do not revel in each other's company. Camaraderie
and merriment at functions is the social glue that
holds the society together, and enhances the great
food and wines that are present.
The President, International Wine & Food Society
