WARNING: Port producers are in here...
Hello all. My name is Dan Carbon. I work for the Symingtons, promoting their wines. I have been following the conversations on the FTLOP for some years but always stayed on the sidelines (sissy!). I hope you will not mind if I ‘officially’ join the fray and occasionally throw my two cents in on an issue. I promise to keep the marketing bs to a minimum because I know you all see right through it anyway.
Cheers,
Dan
Cheers,
Dan

Just kidding Dan. I am very excited that you have decided to finally join us here on the forum. I do look forward to getting opinions from someone on the other side of the fence. Thanks for taking this big step

Uh oh. There goes the neighborhood.
Dan, I've always warned 'em that the trade does read here, but only a few of you have ever dared step foot in here publicly. Welcome to
!

Hi Dan, good to see the producers joining the wine social media! We can all learn more about Port if we share our collective wisdom! :hello:
