Chicken Parmesan with Iowa Wine
The Okoboji Country Inn chef Donna Muilenburg used good Marsala wine to prepare the dish, but when a local Iowa winery's Semi-Dry Reisling became available, she switched. This delicate semi-dry white wine with fresh fruity scent and flavors is a perfect substitute for Marsala wine.
