Port, or at least good port, goes extremely well with cheese,
particularly blue Stilton, so if it were me I would drink the port
whilst eating some blue Stilton and crackers. Careful though because
an excess of port can give you the mother and father of a hangover (so
I'm told...) Port is sometimes used to "feed" Stilton by pouring a
glassful into the center of a cross section of a whole Stilton, thus
beefing up the taste even more - definitely recommended
