Congrats on over 200 Members

Post by alec »

This forum has surpassed 200 members in the last couple days. Congrats, guys. Looking forward to hearing from some of these new members too.

Funny, there's a couple other port forums set up out there but not with this success.... Is anyone here affiliated with any of those other forums?

I've not found any other port forums on the web. Care to share the addresses with us?

Thanks,

I have popped into the Symington's forum on rare occasions and have been a lurker there for a long time. I know that Frederick Blais is a FREQUENT flyer there and if there are other Port forums (I have seen one or two others but they are VERY slow so I go once or twice a year) he'd know.

There is one forum that is based in the So. of Portugal that is fabulous, but it is about all Portuguese wines and only an occasional post on Port. I'd give you the address, but it is in Portuguese and I doubt many of you would enjoy that. Two weeks ago, I met with the owners of that site as they had asked to interview me, when I was down in Lisbon for a day. I had only been a member there for a month or so at the time. It is not easy to translate Portuguese and Babel Fish and others fail miserably.
