Making great wine doesn’t tell the whole story. You’ve got to build a team that shares a contagious passion for VML, really cares about our customers’ experience, and has a heartfelt pride in our community. And while we always have our feet on the ground, the beauty and grace that infuses our work could be interpreted as heavenly inspiration so we thought it would be fun to share our staff’s astrological influences with you. After all, humans have turned to the heavens for answers over millennia. From ancient China through the Greeks and on into today, we have been tracking the movement of the stars and constellations to help make sense of our earthly experiences. What’s your sign?
Our staff is the heart and soul of our winery, without them none of this is possible.
“Capricorn, and although I don’t always feel connected to the general preconceived notions of this sign, I do know that I am independent and love tackling hard work. One of my favorite Capricorn descriptions is ‘full blown adult since age six.’ My parents would both agree with this statement! Capricorns also belong to the element Earth which makes sense for me as I am most comfortable in staying grounded, being practical and reliable.”
Virgo, and we are self-sufficient, ambitious, and wise. Like my sign suggests, I’d like to think I am kind, good-hearted, witty, and fun! I am a very logical thinker, a great listener, and definitely a workaholic! My ambition is the fuel that keeps me going, and I put a lot of effort, dedication, and passion into my work.
Leo, and we are known for being loving, loyal and generous. That is the person I try to be. Apparently. I still have a lot of work to do….
“Taurus, and I am most like my sign because, when everything else seems to be falling apart, Taureans are an oasis of calm. A rock of dependability. Practical knowledge and experience is their modus operandi.”
“Scorpio, and I relate because Scorpios are extremely loyal and good friends. They are compassionate and self-aware.”
“Leo, and I am definitely a Leo through and through! My loyal, loving heart matches my charismatic, tenacious charm. I am creative, confident and loyal to a fault. I love to be the center of attention-but will also champion someone else as their biggest cheerleader.”
Libra and I believe that I embody this sign in more ways than one. First, I am a very empathetic person. I dedicate much time to those that I love around me, so I take little for myself because I cherish those around me more. I am also very compassionate and go out of my way to help others. However, I am also the most indecisive person you will ever meet! Decisions are not my strong suit.
Scorpio, and I’m definitely the epitome of this sign. I can be extremely intense but that’s mostly if I’m feeling vulnerable. For the most part I like to keep to myself but I’m quickly able to open up to people I feel that I can trust. I’m highly intuitive and fiercely protective so as long as you’re on my good side I’ll always have your back.
Taurus, and I most relate to this because Tauruses are strong-minded and dependable. They are also great listeners which is another aspect that I identify with.
“Pisces, and the qualities I relate to the most are being sensitive and emotionally aware.”
“Aries, and I relate most to these Aries qualities: ambitious, honest, creative, loyal, confident, courageous, competitive, and a bit mischievous!”
“ Gemini, and although Geminis typically get a bad wrap I find myself to be a Gemini through and through. I often use humor as a crutch to hide what I’m really feeling. I can talk to a brick wall, and am often scattered in a million different directions. I have childlike energy and curiosity, which always leaves me asking questions and wanting to know more. I feel the need to distinguish myself from others through success, goal setting, and taking on more responsibility.”
