Back in the early '80s the BVI Cruising Guide put you into Fort Burt Marina by telling you to head toward the customs dock and when the Fort Burt Hotel was abeam and you felt comfortable turning to the port to clear Road Reef---GO A LITTLE FARTHER.. Same for the Ginger Chicken sauce. When you feel that you have reduced the ginger wine enough--reduce little more-- before adding the cream. I made it a few weeks ago for a big dinner group and it was PERFECT. Even my wife had to admit that it was just like Iona"s. I won.
About how long to reduce to a syrup consistency? Years ago I went back into the little kitchen to watch the ladies cook and they told me how to make the Gingerwine but I've never gotten that good.
