Australian Port? Might be interesting as Australia is making some very
good wines these days. But I have to ask, is it anything like your
"Vintage Jack Daniels" as you once mentioned before?

Somehow, given your general credibility and history of - shall we
allow - "polite" exaggerations, I suspect that the closest you have
ever come to a bottle of such port would be by walking past it in the
shop window - oh, that's right, such a port would never be exposed to
sunlight in that way.

Care to post a picture of said bottle on your website, together with
provenance. Actually PROVE something perhaps? Make sure there is
something with a location and date on it, perhaps a newspaper? I ask
because Penfolds shows no such port in their history, websites, nor is
it listed in any of the catalogs... most of their ports date from the
80s and 90s by cask, and by initiation from 1915 and forward. So... .

Now, had you written "Seppelt Para", you would have been on firm
ground... .
