Not a problem. It was relatively inexpensive, and at least one 'real-world'
recommendation is better than none at all. I've had good luck with Rosemount
products in the past, too.

My taste in port are rather pedestrian anyway. My favorite so far is the
Graham 10 YO. I've been working on a bottle of Valley of the Moon Port,
which is a ruby port, but not too bad.

Looking forward to trying the Old Benson when this is gone. Hope you are
able to source some.
