Edward Humes

Man and His Mountain Edward Humes

The late Jess Stonestreet Jackson, Jr. was a self-made billionaire, building the Kendall-Jackson empire from nothing into the highest-selling brand of super-premium wine in the United States, with revenues of $600 million each year. He was Americas greatest wine entrepreneur – the Steve Jobs of the grape. Edward Humes had the privilege of interviewing Jackson and his family extensively in the year before his death last April, and has crafted a rich, compelling, and inspiring portrait of the man behind the mogul.
