NEWS: Ruper Murdoch buys a winery

by Jenise » Mon May 13, 2013 5:29 pm

From the Shanken daily rag:

Rupert Murdoch is getting into the wine business. The founder and CEO of News Corporation leaked the news himself May 10, tweeting that he has agreed to buy Moraga Vineyards in the hills above the posh Bel Air community of Los Angeles. “He let the cat out of the bag,” Jim Kline, the real-estate agent who is handling the sale, told Wine Spectator.

A sale price was not disclosed, but the property was listed for $29.5 million. The sale includes the 16-acre estate, as well as the winery and cave, brand and inventory, plus a 7,500-square-foot private residence.

LOL, Paul.

Howie, I almost titled this "Not to outdone by The Donald..."; maybe I should have listed you instead? :)

My boss has a house on Moraga in Bel Air, and also has a vineyard and cave there. Did Rupert Murdock just raise property values for the area? My boss catches all the breaks.
