It adds a richness and really extends the finish.

With the new packaging, they might be looking to move upscale.W.

I was first introduced to Sandeman ports over 30 years ago, and I seem to recall that it was a lower to medium level brand back then.gurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212928072016843956noreply@blogger.com
