Thank you for the mention! Guatemala is not too bad with rum either, Zacapa centenario is 23 years of age and has won multiple prizes as best rum. Getting good wine when it is stopped for days at the border, waiting for clearance under a 100 degrees sun is a pretty hard endeavor.

Good to know, thanks! Our mortgage balance is on the low side, so interest savings are lower and payback times are longer, which is why I wanted to keep closing costs to a bare minimum.
