Question

... a Marsala Superiore Vecchioflore 1999? According to the blurb on the bottle it is good with mature cheese and dry pastries. We are having an Itlaian wine tasting, a bit like AAB for the intensely Francophiles in the group, and my wife is making a Tiramisu (genuine recipe from an actual Tuscan lady, transmitted by word of mouth style of fing, and it is very good). Thought this might be OK. Unfortunately, the Systembolaget has very little Italian sweet wines (no passito, for example) and this was the best I could think of. You think it´s OK?

Cheers

Possibly dry sicilian pastries, all those almondy things caught mid-way between north african and norther european pastry traditions... and possibly with some blue cheese? It is not completely dry, right?

AAB translates loosely to "calling all drinkers"

that woul be Xtina... say hi to her

AAAAAARGH, how could the genuine recipe for a VENETIAN dish come from an actual or even an expired Tuscan lady ??? Sorry, my venetian roots were showing...

Tiramisu would go well with marsala.

Have fun Nils

Though I am not familiar with the Marsala that you specifically mention, I would definitely drink it with Tiramisu. My recipe and preference for Tiramisu hinges on the presence of Marsala with the Mascarpone, and would enjoy to drink the same along side.

My two cents, Jason

Noone told me. They wanted us to drink Vin Santo with it, but we have avoided that - at all costs.

Ah, gweat.

Thanks loads Mike. You remember to give Cathy a hug and a kiss from me, and have a great anniversary! Xtina says helloooooooo!
