Connecting you through wine

It may be the world's oldest cliché, but patience really is a virtue, especially in the workplace.  Being an effective manager requires patience.

The Villa Appalaccia's Aglianico 2007 is a concentrated red wine with chocolate and plum undertones.  This Italian grape requires extraordinary patience, as the vines are stubborn to grow and the fruit is slow to ripen - often ripening long past the end of the normal harvest season.  Luckily, it requires little to no patience to enjoy this Virginia vintage!

Patience with people or patience with grapes - there is little difference.
