	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - title
		Although some of the wineries in the more mountainous areas are beginning to produce some exciting wines, the vast majority of wines from the island remain so mediocre that nearly all of the Sicilians who can afford it "import" their wines from Tuscany, Piedmont or even Calabria.
		Superiori wines, on the other hand are aged for at least two years in oak casks, are smoother and many, including those made by Bartolli, Rallo and Pellegrino make for comfortable sipping.
		As to those Marsala wines labeled speciali, wines that are blended with eggs, strawberries, cherries or even coffee, I concur with English wine writer Hugh Johnson's evaluation that these are "strange aberrations, more worth laughing at than drinking".

		In the period of Greek supremacy, Marsala rose to a position of great importance and in the 3rd century BC its port was the most important wine market of the Mediterranean basin.
		The celebrated wine knew at least a century of great success but triumph was followed by a long period of progressive decline in the wine's image, during which production far exceeded the market's capacity of absorption.
		Proposals by the Marsala producers for the relaunching of the wine were transformed into a series of laws, enacted in 1984, that tightened the production discipline and restored the wine to its due level of prestige.

		Place this over the bottom part of the double boiler and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, always in the same direction, just until it is on the verge of boiling and then remove the top part of the double boiler from the heat.

	Accidental Hedonist - What is Marsala Wine
		Marsala wine is a type of wine similar to port or sherry.
		For a long while, Marsala was seen in equal light as Sherry and Madeira but something happened along the way (namely shoddy winemaking), and by the mid 20th century the wine was seen more as a cooking wine than a drinking one.
		In 1986, the Italian laws for Marsala production were revised to incorporate stricter regulations similar to those that the Portuguese government instituted for Port and predictably the quality improved and people are drinking the wine as a dessert or aperitif wine.

		I have an old bottle from the last time I made chicken marsala and I was wondering if I could use the same bottle to make it again, but I have kept it at room temparture for several months.
		However, I've noticed that red wines, especially the better wines, are never as good after they have been kept in the refrigerator, even when brought to room temperature, which you should do before drinking.
		Since air is the enemy of wine, one tip for storage of leftover wine is to pour the contents of a full bottle (750ml) into an empty half bottle (375ml).

		Evoking a North African town with its tangle of narrow streets and alleys, Marsala is the home of the world-famous Marsala wine, a rival of port and Madeira.
		The wine was first popularized in 1770 when an Englishman, John Woodhouse, came ashore from a British ship that had been forced to anchor here during a violent storm.
		The name Marsala dates from the port's occupation by the Saracens, who called it Marsa el Allah, or "Port of God." But it was the Carthaginians who founded the town on Cape Lilibeo (also called Cape Boeo) in 396 B.C. after fleeing nearby Mothia, which had been destroyed by armies from Syracuse.
