I tried the 2010 red from the winery by Mount Etna. Totally worth the price. You gotta pay for class. The service is very Italian: Slow and a bit terse. Perfect, now you know you're in Italy. The place is cozy and yet has this traditional/historic feel. Come try it. Nah, you ain't classy like me. Grazie.

The size, selection and the staff's dedication to information sharing, when desired, as well as astutely judging the match between wine and the level of sophistication of the customer's palate, sets this as a must visit for those who want to increase their knowledge of wine in general and Sicilian wines in particular. We walked from our hotel near Piazza Verdi in 15 minutes and walked into the entryway that seems like any other small wine bar. After we explained what we wanted, we were shown to a very large 45' (15m.) long L shaped tasting area with 15-18 small elevated tables with two stools and two side tables at each place. The outside of the room is lined with fully stocked, floor to ceiling wine racks divided first by region and then by varietal. We asked for a primer on whites and started with 2 glasses of a carricante, an ancient Sicilian strain grown on Etna. We had sampled a cataratto earlier which seems to be the major white wing grape of the region and this had much more acid but pleasing citrus that compared most closely to a Sauvignon Blanc in our experience. We then tried an entry level nero d'avola, the major Sicilan red, that compared to Syrah and another red that was very harsh by comparison and so, unfortunately, forgettable. Service was knowledgeable, attentive, provided in English and Italian and the original 4 oz. (120 ml.) pours were toned down to 2 oz. (60 ml.) at our request so we could walk back. The total for 2 larger pours and 2 smaller ones was 12E. For an impromptu beginning tasting this was just what we wanted and we will go back for a second flight.

Staff is very friendly and happy to give recommendations. We called ahead to reserve one of the 2 tables on the hidden balcony out back. It's lovely as the sun is setting as it is as if you are drinking wine in a private cave and looking out at the gorgeous sea. The hardest part was finding parking, so give yourself plenty of time to do that if you make a reservation. The other tables on the back had been reserved as well. If ever in downtown Cefalu again, I would definitely come back for a well-priced aperitivo in a stunning environment with friendly service!
