John Jordan Congratulates Sister on J Sale To Gallo

E. & J. Gallo Announces Acquisition Of J Vineyards & Winery

---

Wine Industry Insight received the following email from John Jordan, of Jordan Winery, both to congratulate his sister, Judy, and to emphasize that the sale of her winery is not connected with his winery.

WII received permission to print the email in full:

Dear Lewis,

“Because there continues to be confusion in the marketplace about the relationship between J and Jordan, I wanted to point out that my sister and I have always owned and operated our wineries separately. I just learned of the pending sale over the weekend and have no plans to join her in early retirement.

“Jordan is honored to be a leader in the shrinking community of mid-sized wineries still owned and operated by the founding family with a laser-sharp focus on wine quality and our original vision. Jordan has never been stronger in our commitment to balanced Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, and we’ve never had more fun doing what we love.

“I am proud of Judy and the company she has built over the last three decades. I wish my sister all the best in her future endeavors.”

John Jordan
