Judgment of Cayman

Almost exactly 45 years after the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, we are going to create our own version of Steven Spurrier's iconic Judgment of Paris: The Judgment of Cayman.

IWFS Cayman member Simon Bee will conduct a blind tasting of 8 wines, 4 red and 4 white, with 4 from France and the other 4 from America.  Following a summary of the Judgment of Paris, there will be a short presentation on techniques for the assessment of wine and then the participants will take on the roles of the judges and rate the wines using score-cards.  The end result will be the ruling of the Cayman Islands in the perennial debate of France vs. America and Old World vs. New World!

Agua have kindly agreed a discount of 15% (applicable to the total bill including alcohol) for any of our members wishing to stay for dinner after the tasting.

Places are strictly limited to 16 people on each night: 2 September or 9 September
