As told by Ruth Reichl in her memoir Comfort Me With Apples, Colman Andrews described Darrell to her as the man "who knows more about food and wine than anyone else in the world." Frank would say, "At Corti Brothers we just don't hand people products, we also talk food with them."įrank's goal to educate was literally embodied in his son Darrell, whose encyclopedic knowledge of food and wine attracts queries from around the world. Toward this end, Frank sought to employ people who, though not shop owners themselves, were 'shopkeepers' in that they were interested in the products they sold and the people they served.
They offered delicacies and wines from diverse cuisines that were not readily available elsewhere in Northern California.
Frank Corti And Gino Corti started Corti Brothers in 1947 with a mission to expand the culinary experiences of their Sacramento neighbors.
