Island Memories



So, this is where we were, five months ago! Hard to believe how quickly the time has passed.

To remind us of those fine Mallorcan days, we opened one of the bottles we brought back:

Jose L. Ferrer Veritas Anada 2003, D.O. Binissalem, Mallorca. It's a blend of local grapes Mantonegro and Callet with Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. The taste? Unusual.

"Cranberries. Fermented cranberries." Daryl's first response. Kath took a sip and agreed. Not much aroma to this wine, just the slightest hint of cranberry. In appearance, it resembled a Pinot Noir--clear red. Taste: almost exclusively cranberry. Light-bodied, different. It's probably something we wouldn't ordinarily drink, but as it holds much sentimental value, we enjoyed it.

Salud!
