If you like the wine, a gelee is always nice. It's the jello shooter all dressed up for the ball. You could do a sorbet. Then there's sabayon/zabaglione. If you don't like the wine, you're probably still not going to like it in most of those things.
It's kinda like wrestling a gorilla... you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired.

ya could always box it up and send it to me

:D:D:D
just kidding, you could macerate fruit in it and then flambe it for a fancy dessert, make trifle with it
when life hands you lemons, make lemon gelee, lemon meringue pie, or any other dessert your heart desires

No, you send it to me, much, much less shipping ;)

Could also do a granite?

Come to think of it, I have a red wine cookie recipe somewhere. I could try to find it for you?

you could use it in a vinaigrette.. ive tried it out myself before and ive seen it done a bunch.. works nicely if you have fruit in the salad that can accent the fruit that are in the dessert wine.
