Any suggestions about what desserts would particularly suit this wine and at what temperature it should be served? Thanks!

I think I'm gonna die here...can I come over? Mon Oct 31 21:01:38 -0800 2005 1676876 0 Will Owen 4 1676959 That does sound good. The main thing is that your dessert is never sweeter than your wine.
