The Sopranos Star Lorraine Bracco Turns Wine Expert  3/10/06

Lorraine Bracco is making big plans for her life once the mob drama ends next year (07) - she hopes to become a top wine merchant. The actress, who plays psychiatrist Dr Melfi on the show, has launched her own Bracco wine and plans to travel through Europe picking out quality grapes. 

Bracco says, "I was lucky to live 10 years in France so I learned how to eat and drink there. "These are all imported wines from Italy and I get to go to all these incredible vineyards all over Italy and taste wine and say, 'Mmm, I think I'll have that.'"
