What do I do with a bottle of REAL Cherry Wine?

Asked by srmorgan (6773points) March 6th, 2009

Three years ago, in Colorado, I bought a bottle of Carlson Cherry Wine. How should we use it? As an aperitif? With a meal? With chocolate? I am open to ideas especially since this stuff is not going to age well in the bottle.

Serve with the dessert course. It is usually refreshing, but too sweet for dinner. This seems appropriate.

I actually saw Tommy James and the Shondells in Central Park sometime in the late 60’‘s All I remember is a lot of flashing blue lights. I must have been pretty ripped that night.

and not on cherry wine

Club soda and ice; it will be similar to a cherry coke.

I bought one also while in Colorado. It went well with a sweet dessert. The sweet dessert toned down the sweetness in the wine. I really liked it.

If it is the real McCoy, and not compounded in a laboratory retort, serve it it your guests, well chilled, with the sweet.
