French Buy Legendary American Winery...Will a Soccer Club Be Next?

On the heels of InBev snagging Anheuser-Busch, we get news today that Chateau Cos d'Estournel (that would be wine folks, French wine) is scoring Chateau Montelena (that would be America, yes, we tried to fool you with the "Chateau", but trust me it's American).  

I can't really get too analytical about this, just that it is another sign that we live in a globalized world and that in small, almost imperceptible ways we will all almost certainly benefit from this.  Although I am getting a chuckle thinking about some parallels.  If you know the history, Montelena was one of the wines in the famous Paris tasting of 1976 - incidentally the subject of a movie out Aug 6th, starring all-round awesome dude Alan Rickman. So we kicked the froggies ass at their own game and 30+ years later - because we've trashed our currency - they own us.  So here is a prediction, the USA beats Les Bleus in the elimination round of the next World Cup and in 30+ years Olympique Lyonnais buys DC United!
