The label shown on the bottle on the table was introduced in the '60's.
BTW: Bolla became the most popular import wine in the US in 1969. Now it's Australia's Yellow Tail.


TB, don't forget that these are Mafia guys.

...and they probably brought their own homemade wine. And don't forget the pastries: "Hey Tatt, didja bring the sfogliatele? And Vito, did Clemenza bring the cannolis?"

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
