Lorraine Bracco introduces new wine in Hamptons

Actress Lorraine Bracco on Sunday unveiled Rosato, the ninth wine on her label, Bracco Wines. Bracco's friend, chef and real estate principal Andrew Borrok, hosted a wine tasting at his Water Mill estate for a group of invited guests that included James Lipton, host of "Inside the Actors Studio," Barbara Blatt, owner of Biba Boutique, and Stella Keitel, Bracco's daughter with actor Harvey Keitel.

Borrok's home is a 20,000-square-foot neo-classical mansion built in 2005. While he made his fortune in real estate (he recently sold a building in Manhattan for $350 million), his publicist says he will now concentrate on a culinary career.

Bracco, best known for her role as Dr. Jennifer Melfi in HBO's "Sopranos" series, lives in Bridgehampton in a five-bedroom postmodern dwelling which she purchased in 2004 from Anne Hearst, granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst. That home was briefly listed for sale at $3.25 million earlier this year before the actress changed her mind and took it off the market.

Also in attendance was a retinue of real estate power players from the Corcoran Group, including Corcoran's president and chief executive Pamela Liebman, marketing strategist Neal Sroka, who heads Corcoran's Sroka Group, and Robby Browne, Corcoran senior vice president and one of the company's top agents in New York City.
