INDUSTRY INSIDE TRACK

Post by Roy Hersh »

I am very pleased to be able to share some great news with :ftlop: 'ers! :scholar:

Congratulations are in order for Gonçalo Devesas who many of you know from his posts online or from visiting Vinologia where he worked the past few years, after his brother Gustavo also left (to work for the Symington's at Graham's). Gonçalo began working for Dalva as of last Monday. He is responsible for designing a website for them and also he will spearhead and manage the brand new Dalva Port Bar which will launch in a few weeks on the Gaia side of the river. The location is very close in proximity to the Sandeman Lodge across from the cais, and Gonçalo will welcome visitors with a great lineup of Dalva's Port products (of which there are many). See the upcoming newsletter for more info!

Check out photos of Gonçalo both on the FTLOP homepage's PORTraits and a great shot from May on the :ftlop: Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/For-Th ... 664?ref=ts

I've got a lot of respect for Dalva's vintage ports - hopefully Goncalo will be able to persuade others to come round to my point of view...but please, not until I've bought some more!
