I plan to serve this with a NY style cheesecake. The bottle says it is best chilled. I don't know how large a pour to serve. Plese advise! Thanks!

It will be very sweet. Recommend a small portion, 1 - 1 1/2 oz, like a glass of port. You can always recharge the glasses if it's a real hit.

Oh it's sweet all right! That's why I like it! Now to find the right sized glasses! Thanks HW!

I have a beautiful set of antique etched glasses that have raspberry-colored stems. There are two sizes. One looks like it could be a water goblet or good sized wine glass; the other is short-stemmed with a short, wide bowl. Filled to the brim it holds 6 oz. It's a champagne glass, I think. You could serve a dessert in it. These glasses would look gorgeous on my table, and I'd love to use them, but do you think I could use the champagnes for the raspberry wine?

Why not use the wide glasses for the cheesecake, and pour the raspberry liqueur directly over it? The French liqueur called Chambord is sometimes used that way, and it has a raspberry flavor.

Well, I bet the Chambord over the cheesecake would be delicious! But these glasses would better suit a pudding or fruit cup. Guess I'll have to leave them in the china closet this time around. Sigh! Thanks for your suggestions!

You could use a couple of your glasses to float blossoms, perhaps roses, as a table decoration. If you can find anything blooming in frozen Joisey, that is.
