Former Name, Former Adress and Former Fiscal Year, if Changed Since
Last Report
Item 5. Other Events

On November 7, 1994 the Registrant announced that its net
sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994")
were $629.6 million, compared with net sales of $306.3 million
for the Company's fiscal year ended August 31, 1993 ("Fiscal
1993"), an increase of 106%. This increase resulted from the
inclusion of a full year of net sales for Barton Incorporated
acquired in June 1993, 10 1/2 months of net sales of the Paul
Masson and Taylor California Cellars brands and other products
acquired in October 1993, and approximately one month of net
sales of the Almaden and Inglenook brands and other products
acquired in August 1994. The Company's net income increased 71%
to $26.6 million, or $1.65 of fully diluted earnings per common
share, exclusive of the impact of a restructuring charge which
the Company took in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1994 ("Fourth
Quarter 1994"), compared with fully diluted earnings of $15.6
million, or $1.20 per common share for Fiscal 1993.

As previously announced on September 7, 1994, the restructuring
charge, which reduced after-tax net income by $14.9 million, or
$0.91 per share, relates to the plan to restructure the
operations of the Company's California wineries, including the
consolidation of facilities, centralization of bottling
operations and reduction of overhead. The Company anticipates
that the restructuring plan will result in cost savings of
approximately $3.9 million (partially offset by additional
restructuring charges of approximately $2.2 million for a pre-tax
savings of approximately $1.7 million) for the fiscal year ending
August 31, 1995 and approximately $13.3 million of annual pre-tax
net cost savings beginning in fiscal 1996.

The Company also announced that its net income increased 51%
to $8.6 million, or $0.52 of fully diluted earnings per common
share for Fourth Quarter 1994, an increase of $2.9 million from
$5.7 million, or $0.41 of fully diluted earnings per common share,
for its fourth quarter ended August 31, 1993 ("Fourth Quarter 1993"),
exclusive of the impact of the above-mentioned restructuring charge.
The Company's net sales increased 56% to $180.8 million for Fourth
Quarter 1994, up from $115.9 million for Fourth Quarter 1993.
