Marsala Beef Stew image

A friend of mine said he had not had home made beef stew for 5 years, every since his grandmother died. So I decided to make him some beef stew just like his grandmothers... well somebody's grandmother anyway. This goes great with garlic toast or even some artichoke bruschetta.
