Mallorca Wineries

Over the last few months I have been adding lots of information to SkyBlue Mallorca about Majorca wine and Mallorca wineries. Up to know that information has mostly been in English and Spanish. But now that we have someone helping us with German we are slowly adding Majorca winery information in Deutsch. See some of the latest wine estate profiles in German, Weingüter.

Wine is on of my developing passions, I don't just like to drink it, I also like to learn about it! I recently went on a great wine tasting course at Catavinos wine shop in Palma, and I have written a couple of articles on Mallorca wine which have been published on SkyBlue Mallorca and on ezinearticles.com. Here is one on wines from the wine producing region of Binissalem.

Encuentros / 'Meetings'

I can never resist publishing some information on the art exhbitions going at Rialto living Lifestyle store in Palma. It is such a great place and their art exhibitions are each unique and special. If you go to the inauguration night there is a glass of wine for everyone there and its such a delightful way to spend an evening.

The next inauguration night is taking place on the 28th of May and the exhibition is called 'Encuentros' or 'Meetings' and it consists of a collection of photographs by local artist Nuria Forteza. The photographs were taken on one of the artist's visits to La Habana, Cuba.

Here is what she has to say:

There are people that collect stones, papers, matchboxes, fridge magnets... I even have a friend who collects light...
People collect everything... and I collect colours.
The obession for collecting things can start very early or very late. My obsession for colours started, I think, with socks: first they were one colour, then another, striped, dotted, with drawings, even including my underwear.
But that wasn’t enough, my obsession continued growing... That’s how I started noting all the colours surrounding me.
Havana, winter 2003... buildings in ruins, windows without glass, old cars, music on every corner, its people and above all, its colours.
“Meetings” is my collection of Havana, photographs with a touch of colour.

Simply Fosh

For those of you who do not know, Mallorca's top celebrity chef, Marc Fosh, has now left Read's Hotel and has opened his own restaurant in Palma. He has named the restaurant 'Simply Fosh' and describes his offering as 'going back to basics' and 'enjoying good, fresh, healthy food at affordable prices'.

The restaurant is located inside what used to be the Refectori Restaurant of the Convent de la Missio Hotel in the centre of Palma and you can find more in depth information on SkyBlue Mallorca.

Don't forget that Marc regularly contributes mouth watering articles to SkyBlue Mallorca and three recipes a week. Read the latest article which is all about the wonders of GARLIC !
