The sun is shining, the sky is blue and we return to the rooftop patios of Karen Stierhoff and Larry Stefan and their neighbours Thomas Quine and Leanne Averbach, this time for a Cracklin’ Pig Feast. Kuy’s Lechon supplied a delicious crispy skin roast pig with salads and canapés from Gauthier which we enjoyed with bottles of Terre Brulée Chenin Blanc from South Africa and a tasty Spanish bierzo mencia from Domino de Tares Baltos and a 2019 Bourgogne Rouge from Justin Girardin. What a party! And to finish the evening, what better than a chocolate cake emblazoned with the IWFS logo with a sip of La Quercia La Dama Passito. And then, to top it off, a latecomer brought a last-minute guest who felt obligated to bring along a magnum of 2008 Dom Perignon to share! A special treat.
Our thanks go out to all of our helpers who made the afternoon so special – to our hosts and to Milena, Karen, Jim, Kim and Alvin for their assistance in setting up and clearing following the event. We’ll look forward to next year!
