> Yes we make the Choc-a-bloc port. The sad news is that we only sell it from

> The air freight on 1 carton to the USA is approximately AUD$260.00 which is
> to your door, licensing laws permitting.
> The wine would cost AUD$194.00 for 12 bottles. Therefore your cost on 1
> dozen chocolate port would be AUD$454.00.

> Hoping this will with your decision.
