Italian Super Tasting including Sassicaia at the Wine Watch

Strategy is buying a bottle of fine wine when you take a lady out for dinner. Tactics is getting her to drink it. Frank Muir

When most people in the wine industry think of Kobrand they may think first of their marquee French wines like Louis Jadot and Taittinger or their California labels like Cakebread, Sequoia Grove, Benziger and St. Francis.

But Kobrand is also one of the leading importers of Italian wines in the U.S. toady.  They have quietly amassed one of the most impressive collections of Italian wines brought into this country.
