...Valley are among the most prominent of the so-called Rhone Rangers, who are producing wines from such southern French varietals as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Roussanne. The names of Grahm's fruity blends slyly honor their links to Provence. Old Telegram is a tribute to a famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape label called Vieux Telegraphe. Le Cigare Volant (the French term for flying saucer) refers to a whimsical law passed by Chateauneuf's council banning flying saucers from landing in the town's vineyards...

Learning how to lead a diverse work force may be maddeningly complicated. But the alternative, management experts predict, may be alienated employees working at cross purposes. At Du Pont, an exhaustive series of new training courses helps employees explore sensitive issues dividing the sexes and races. In a three- day program, men and women hash out their differences in an encounter-style setting. Another seminar explores a topic that only recently has gained boardroom respectability: how management attitudes...
