Marty the name of the winery is Cargo Road Wines. A great bloke named John Swanson was the vineyard and winery owner, winemaker, entertainer, and friend. A number of years ago he sold up to a consortium from Sydney, and moved with his family to Tassie. When he went we bought a 550 (!!! greed hath no limits) barrel of a different port (its name is Red Eye Port) from him; occasionally we take the plug out and decant a bit or just join bendy straws together and sample straight from the barrel.

AS to what will happen after the port has gone, I might be able to persuade Frank to stay with the few bottles of 1988 Penfolds bin 707 or the 1986 St Henri I have stashed for a rainy day. None of that feminine alluring from me!!

Kerrie
