WEIRDLY ENOUGH NICOLAS wine merchants although a french wine specialist sell a lovely bottle of Marsala, Oddbins sell it too as well as John lewis. Dont worry I have had exactly the same problem when making tiramasu. I have a bottle of Marsala called Terra Arse (owww errr) from the Italia Expo at Earls Court. Hope that helps!

I think you may also find Marsala Cremova here:

They have two types of Marsala:
Cremovo Floriovo Marsala and Gran Chef Marsala.
Happy tasting!

[QUOTE=Oneto15]For some time now I have been relying on various and nefarious relatives to suppliment my meager supply of a particular brand of Marsala. So if any one knows of a UK based supplier or indeed any supplier with an internet site for the following I would be very grateful for any and all information.

Marsala al ouvo Cremovo produced by Giarola Savem Srl. Also known as Cremovo Black Label.

Thanks.......... Peter[/QUOTE]
i would stick to putting in tiramisu or whatever the usual marsala you use but if you want to drink it which is even better try one of the dozens of varieties from very dry,semi dry, semi sweet, which are made by small producers but poorly marketed very often but worth the trouble to find there is a web site of a small producer in Marsala who sells on line you may like to take a look
at it's -

Must say I've never been too keen on Marsalla because its so sweet, so if I see some drier stuff I'll definately give it a go perhaps in Sicily, so I will have the memories of it everytime I drink it, and more choice.

Having been to Jerez in S Spain you find out first hand about all the different sherries and ports, like a wonderful dry sherry called Jerez (pronoused Hair-reth) or an equally interesting dark tary one that tasted of treacle..fascinating.

I really like Cynar, its fabulous when you've eaten just that little too much (easy to do in Italia), although it is a very aquired taste.

And yes my Terra Arse is completely undrinkable but does make me smile everytime I open the cupboard.

"Posh bangers & mash" (to make the gravy).

Cook your sausages in a pan, then pour in quite a bit of masala to de-glase the pan. Burn off the booze (shame!), then turn the heat down to a minimum and add Creme Fresh & mix until a thick creamy (but sweet tasting) sauce appears in a light chocolate colour. Add handfulls of Spinich to partly wilt, and some fingernail cuttings of fresh de-seeded red chilli.

The light bround sauce looks great with the vibrant green spinich and the flakes of red chilli.

Easy to make and tastes fantastic! :D

I already saw from oither replies that vino Marsala enjoys a fairly poor reputation in the UK as well as in Italy.
This is mostly based on ignorance (in italy as well as the uk).
There are as many if not more varieties and grades of Marsala as there are of Sherry or port.This is apparently an unknown fact.
The really quite disgusting Marsala all'uovo mentioned is (it seems) mainly drunk by ½ûÂþÌìÌà alcoholics (you don't have to drink meths here)and used in not very good restaurants as an additive to the equally horrible "tiramisu"
(good restaurants use good marsala and don't bother making "tiramisu"anyway)
As i mentioned Marsala is very poorly marketed,due also to the fact it is made (for the most part) by very small local vinyards who do not have the money,culture,opportunity,or conditions to better promote this fantastic wine by the way the dryest wine i ever tried was a Marsala (which by the way doesn't come cheap) a decent Marsala (and i'm talking about Italy not the UK)
is unlikely to cost much under Euro 25- 30 a bottle.
Just in case anyone thought i was "talkingout of my nose" my family made Marsala wine in Marsala from 18, something until 1922...but thats a long story.

[QUOTE=elainecraig]completely undrinkable[/QUOTE]

No such thing. Does not compute. What do you mean?

;)

Sorry my 'Terra Arse' Marsala is completely undrinkable, but has a funny title.

Gosh Seb you know your Marsala wines, but theres newt wrong with a good tiramisu ;-)

Here in Central Scotland there's a wine you might like. It is of Cypriot, not ½ûÂþÌìÌà derivation though.

It is called Eldorado. :eek:
