Ronald,

No, because the Symington's don't actually produce the Port per se. They own the Quinta and bought the stocks of Port, but the brand name and marketing rights remained in the hands of drinks giant, Beam Global. Miguel Corte-Real and others at Cockburn's will make that decision and of course the Symington's will be involved too.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
