Port is quite versatile as it has strong flavours. Classic pairing is with dried fruits (apricots, dates, figs, even pears and apples), nuts such as walnut and almond -- these bring out some of the elements of the wine -- and of course the classic chocolate deserts. Also quite good with rich game meats such as duck and venison, a perhaps less expected pairing.
Duck and venison? I wouldn't have thought of that. Would you advocate drinking port as a "normal" wine with dinner, or are you thinking of small sips with small plates, like duck- or venison-based appetizers?
