Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) June 11, 2008 -- Gina Puente-Brancato and John Brancato, owners of Puente-Brancato Enterprises, have recently opened the first airport winery in the Dallas Fort Worth airport called La Bodega, and they were recently featured in the Fort Worth Business Press for their work on the innovative winery and the rest of their enterprise.
The Puente-Brancato Enterprise is an internationally-known empire: La Bodega Winery -- the world's first and only winery in an airport -- six newsstand/gift shops, five Frulatti Café & Bakeries, a currency exchange service, a media system for retail advertising, a cruise line and a vineyard in Grapevine.
"An international airport is like a cosmopolitan city itself. Such diversity is seen in our employees who represent 10 countries from seven continents and speak 13 languages. Operating in an airport environment is similar to a roller coaster ride. Keeping an open mind allows us to ride the high tide of opportunity and not be leveled by the uncontrollable," said Gina Puente-Brancato in the feature. "In an airport - specifically an international one -- factors such as time, carry-on restraints, stress-induced environment, inclement weather, changes in flight schedules and security measures are a few challenges concessionaires face on a daily basis."
