All in the family
The Sopranos, the HBO series about a New Jersey mob family, has sparked an unusual spinoff - a line of Italian wines that will be launched in the United States this fall.
The line of Sopranos Wines from various Italian wineries will feature a variety of wines ranging from a Chianti, pinot grigio and pinot noir priced up to $11.99 to a higher end Chianti classico at $23.99 and a Chianti classico reserva at $29.99.
Vesuvio Import Co., created to develop this new line, was named after the fictional restaurant depicted in the series, which ran for six seasons over more than eight years and concluded in June 2007.
