Port wine and chocolate are a match made in heaven. So, too, are strawberries and Champagne.
Port and blueberry? I am not so sure about that. I think that the port might be a bit too much for the fruit. And that the fruit might be a bit too much for the port.
Try a sweet Loire wine (Bonnezeaux or Quarts de Chaume) or sweet (Beerenauslese level) Riesling from Germany or Austria or Canada.
Port and chocolate are a geat match. Port and roasted walnuts are also a fine match; almost made in heaven.
Some of this information comes from my personal experience, other parts come from reference materials in my library (Wine with Food by Joanna Simon).
