FTLOP TNDB: Our Tasting Note Data Base (TNDB) includes over 10,000 tasting notes on Port, Madeira and Douro wines, but only Subscribers will have access to Roy’s own 3,000+ tasting note entries. Subscribers can maintain a personal database within the framework of the TNDB, called “My Database”. Besides searching by the name of a specific wine, you can customize your searches by wine type, score, vintage, or author.

Exclusive subscribers only Buying Opportunities: This program began in 2009 and has been very successful with offerings by Broadbent Ports & Madeira, Kopke, Taylor, Rocha, Quinta do Crasto, Ferreira, Quinta do Noval, Fonseca, Quinta da Romaneira, Quinta do Portal, Porto Quevedo, Souza, and Quinta do Mourao/S.Leonardo. Typically negotiated directly with producers or nationally recognized retailers on behalf of our subscribers, there has been an amazing array of Port, Madeira and Douro wine offered at great prices. In some cases, the savings from just one of these offerings would pay for an entire year’s subscription.

Roy and FTLOP are not involved financially in these offerings.  We are just putting buyers and sellers together and receive no payment, commission or other consideration.  We arrange these exclusive offerings to thank our loyal Subscribers for their support.

Please note that as of January 2015, all new subscriptions will span 12 months from the date your payment is confirmed through Paypal or Stripe and will be automatically renewed annually, so there will be continuity, until you decide otherwise.

We thank you for your subscription and continued support of For the Love of Port’s Newsletter, website content, community Forum, Tasting Note Database and Facebook page.

Thanks for your supPORT!
