I am not a wine connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. in fact, I only know a red from a white because I am not color blind.  I wouldn’t know a Blush from a Bordeaux if you pointed it out, and sweet wines are generally not sweet to me, only less dark and bitter. – I was at an event a few weeks ago at Arrington Vineyard, and naturally we participated in a wine tasting.  As the sommelier (of course I Googled the right word) described each of the wines we tested, I was enthralled by the idea that maybe with this sip I too would identify the aromatic notes of wild strawberry and black tea….  Nope.  Nothing.  Why is my palate so unrefined?!  I found myself envious of some of the people in our group who were thoroughly enjoying themselves,…

What a pleasant surprise – we had over 200 responses to the surveys administered by Workplace Dynamics on behalf of The Tennessean.  We know this is a great place to work, but now you all do too!

 

Why are we #1?  Bob would say he strives to instill a sense of balance in all of us, in terms of both work and home life.  In our manager’s meetings he wants to know how things are going in each office and that always includes time for what is happening in the communities we serve.  From our corporate sponsorship of the Make-A-Wish
