Francis Ford Coppola: Barberian

Wine Critics Dept: So closely is Francis Ford Coppola tied in our minds to his epic Godfather saga that this cinematic introduction draws gasps from the assembled crew of wine critics, according to The Star. He breaks into a bright and wholly unexpected rendition of the Ontari-ari-ari-o tourism theme song of yore and eyes still adjusting from the bright, hot noon sun, we enter the subterranean wine cavern at Barberian s Steak House on Elm St. for a very special Sunday lunch. There, seated alone behind a long single table, framed by pricey vintages, is a ponderous figure in a dark suit and tie. Actually, the first impression is trompe l oeil: Coppola has been seated ahead of his guests simply because he is sidelined by a knee injury scheduled for surgery later in the week .
