Sicily, Food & wine recommendations

[Eli R]

Hi all,

The decision has been made:
a week in Sicily in October, 2 couples traveling and I am the only wine lover.

I will appreciate any food and wine recommendations, including special local dishes and were to try them, local wines to watch for, wineries to visit.

I understand that Sicily is best known for fortified wines like the Masala, how about dry red wines, both traditional and "new world".

Thanks,

Eli
