Marsala

We are still in western Sicily in Marsala, home of the sweet fortified wine you may have drunk as a teenager. There are lots of wineries in the area and wine bars in Marsala serving up mainly red and white wines ( but not much marsala).  We went to Donnafugata winery yesterday for a tasting and paired with Sicilian local delicacies. Wines good although they have recently partnered with Dolce and Gabbana to produce a range with trendy labels.  Appears to have tripled the price!   The fabulous archaeological museum contains remains of a warship sunk during the first Punic War.  The Phoenicians were quite advanced for 3rd century bc. Marsala is a town with baroque buildings and food with Arab influences. Cous Cous is excellent!
