Default Prager Winery / Port - Any opinions?

On our last trip to California my wife and I had dinner at the Napa Valley
Grille. After the meal, we were offered a glass of California Port. We had a
choice of two from the Prager Winery - a flavored one (chocolate) and a
straight one, which was very good indeed. We decided to pay the winery a
visit the next day to taste their other wines and probably pick up of some
of their stuff. As it turned out to be, the wines as well as the port were
horrendously expensive ($75 a bottle for the non-chocolate type IIRC). I
remember I also liked their Cabernet Sauvignon, but did not keep any tasting
notes.

When we came home I thought about ordering a few bottles and searched for
their Internet address, but at the time (October 2000) they rather had a
"homepage" than a "web site" and only a couple of wines - basically the two
Ports and the Cabernet we had tasted, and perhaps one or two white wines.
There was no way to order online, and so I quickly forgot about this.

I don't know how I came across their web site yesterday, but things seem to
have changed. They now offer a full range of several white and red Ports as
well as white and red wines, and the prices seem to have dropped
considerably. I'm really tempted to order a few bottles, but have no idea if
they make their wines the way they used to. Perhaps the winery isn't even
run by the same people anymore? Would I still like the stuff? Any
suggestions and/or opinions welcome.
