Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.

Marsala: Florio Winery
Most Americani know of Marsala wine-we use it in the kitchen and rarely ever taste it. For good reason: as we found out at the winery, only the lowest quality product made by the winery is shipped to America. The best is kept in Italia or sent north to Western European countries. Thw winery is located at the port in a facility that includes all the equipment necessary for modern wine making: large oak storage barrels, processing equipment, and a shipping area. The modern tasting room includes a wine shop that caters to the many visitors who wish to "go to the source". The business has changed hands since garibaldi himself came for a taste in 1861. A commemorative plaque notes the visit by the leader of the revolution that created the modern Italian landscape.
We tasted some of their product and we were quite surprised at the variety and quality of that wine kept for domestic consumption.
