Remembering the Sopranos

Lorraine Bracco - she does not make it but she chooses it.

A Chianti fit for a godfather

The Wall Street Journal called it the Dow Jones Paparazzi Wines Index and gave the award for the Best Wine by a Living Actress to the Italian Bracco Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2004 with the Bracco being Lorraine Bracco who played Tony Soprano's psychiatrist in the just ended US series.

The wine is one of eight in the Bracco Wines range with her dream being to "have a fabulous rose" in her portfolio. Ms Bracco told the WSJ she has loved wine since she moved to France as a teenager and lived there for 10 years. With all of the offers for her to endorse this product or that, she jumped at the chance when her business manager and an associate of his brought to her the idea of launching a line of wines.

"I loved the fact that I would own the business and I loved the fact that it was something that I loved to do," she told us. "I love to eat and drink." So with her importer, she visits wineries in Italy and tastes and chooses the wines that will bear her name, she says.

I remember her from the Movie "Switch" with Ellen Barkin. I still saw her in that role even during the Sopranos. She has really done well. Nice to see.
