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.
