Default A strawberry wine suggestion

A suggestion for some of you who may want to try it.

I picked up a couple of bottles of strawberry wine while traveling in the
Finger Lakes Region of New York last year. It was very sweet, some what
tart and had a glorious strawberry taste and bouquet.

A month or so ago I opened a bottle and had some for after desert wine.
Nice but you did not want to drink much and a lot was left. I did not want
to drink it as it was as it was way too sweet. What to do, what to do?

Then it hit me. I mixed one part cream to two parts wine and had
strawberries and cream. It was beautiful.

I have never made strawberry wine before and certainly never made a wine
that sweet but I am now tempted. If some of you have some strong strawberry
wine you might want to try this.
