In the spring, one turns to thoughts of love. So it’s not surprising that when April’s showers arrive, lads and lassies alike ring up their sure thing to “watch a movie” on the couch.
Even if your hookup is heartless, it need not be artless. To set the mood, pour a glass of Bonny Doon’s Bouteille Call and serve it alongside some dark chocolate. This port is the only fine wine to feature a label depicting a fez-wearing monkey staring longingly at a pair of legs in hooker boots.
The taste is also a far cry from the stuffy stuff associated with crusty old Europeans. Made with syrah grapes and fortified with raspberry liqueur, it’s indulgent and sweet without being cloying — like, hopefully, the one you’re with. You may not want it every day, but you’ll invite it back for sure.
Available for approximately $25 at BLM Wine and Spirits, 1354 Comm Ave, in Allston. Call 617.734.7700.
