Who in the world drinks Port wine? I’m thinking it. You’re thinking it. To get to the bottom of it, I reached out to a true wine expert: Master of Wine Richard Heming, a Singapore-based writer and educator whose career in wine has taken him around the world.

I found Richard when I was interested in exploring the topic about the future of wine and came across an article he wrote about wine in the metaverse. I reached out and he agreed to contribute his insights to #drinkport. He shared with me in our first conversation that he likes to support the underdog — the underdog being Port and very likely my ambitious endeavor to encourage more Americans to drink it.

Join me for this truly global conversation about the world's perception of Port wine, what makes it so special, and why it doesn't have to be for everyone (which is part of its magic).

Starboard is a Port wine for the American dinner party. Follow along as we uncork a conversation about Port wine, stateside. Onward we venture to a new Port.
