WARNING: Port producers are in here...

Post by Dan Carbon »

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

I do look forward to getting opinions from someone on the other side of the fence. Thanks for taking this big step :thumbsup:

As long as we're the first to publicly find out info on some new project, wine, Port, etc. the Symington's are working on you are more than welcome to ply us with some occasional "bs" :scholar: :mrgreen:

Uh oh. There goes the neighborhood. :scholar:

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 :ftlop:!
