As always, I would recommend a nice Port for an after dinner wine, especially this time of year. If you want to cook for your someone special, prepare a nice rich chocolate something, and serve it with the Port. I would recommend a 10 year old Tawny, but that might excede your $$ amount a bit, at least in my area. But don't let that stop you from serving port....there are good Ruby and Tawny ports out there that are in your price range. Find a reputable wine dealer in your area, and ask their advice. My favorites are as follows....Grahams, Taylor Fladgate, and Dows. Niepoort is great from what I hear, but can not find it here in my area of the great white north, so I can not give that as a recommend from my own experience. If you want to serve a California Port, I like Ficklins.

A similar but somewhat lighter wine that might also be nice, is a Black Muscat from Rosenblum Cellars.
