   Sicily is part of Italy’s ancient winemaking traditions, yet this island in the Mediterranean Sea also is producing some
  of the country’s most modern and exciting wines. Today, quality Sicilian wines are the region’s focus, with an emphasis
  on grape varieties that thrive in the island’s hot weather and volcanic soils. It is important to Richard Gonzmart for our
   guests not only to experience the delicious cuisine of Sicily, but also experience the wines from this beautiful region.
