Jess Jackson Has Bought Legacy Estates for $97 Million!
Congratulations to Jess Jackson and the entire Jackson clan!
Although, I can't name a single wine producer in the legendary Legacy Estates Portfolio, I'm certain this was an important and legitimate purchase.
Ninety-Seven Million dollars seems like a lot of money. Wouldn't Jess Jackson be better served by giving it all to the Gates Foundation? That might actually do some good for mankind, even if it did very little for the legendary Legacy Estates Portfolio. Certainly, it would get Jess Jackson on the front page of The Wine Spectator, if not The New York Times.
Alternatively, he could buy a good Muscadet estate for a lot less. Even Marc Ollivier has a price. I've heard that Pepiere is available for less then six million. Ollivier has had a string of splended vintages and is on top of his form these days....the asking price can only go higher.
It's uncanny the resemblance between JJ and the guy in the pic on the left side of the screen on your homepage! They MUST be related...
he should buy pluto mr. dresser ! i think its for sale. the sheriff.
It must be time to congratulate someone else by now; no?
now that pluto is not a planet, its price has dropped. i agree, good time to invest.
did anyone catch Frank DeFord's NPR sports-centric Pluto rant yesterday? Laugh riots!
Hell, why stop at Pepiere? 97m could buy a large chunk of the entire appellation.Can you imagine JJ controlling Muscadet production?
If I had my druthers, I'd spend my 97m buying up portions of Touraine...more variety.
