                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (unaudited)




1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared by the 
Company, without audit and subject to year-end adjustment, 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
except that certain information and footnote disclosures 
made in the latest annual report have been condensed or 
omitted for the interim statements.  Certain costs are 
estimated for the full year and are allocated to interim 
periods based on estimates of operating time expired, 
benefit received, or activity associated with the interim 
period.  The financial statements reflect all adjustments 
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair 
presentation.
 

Forward Looking Statement:

This Management's Discussion and  Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operation and other sections of this 
Form 10Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning 
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  
These forward-looking statements involve risks and 
uncertainties that are based on current expectations, 
estimates and projections about the Company's business, and 
beliefs and assumptions made by management.  Words such as 
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," 
"seeks," "estimates" and variations of such words and similar 
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking 
statements.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ 
materially  from what is expressed or forecasted in such 
forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, 
but not limited to:  availability of financing for growth, 
availability of adequate supply of high quality grapes, 
successful performance of internal operations, impact of 
competition, changes in wine broker or distributor relations 
or performance, impact of possible adverse weather conditions, 
impact of reduction in grape quality or supply due to disease, 
impact of governmental regulatory decisions, successful 
assimilation of Tualatin Vineyards Inc.'s business with that 
of the Company and other risks detailed below as well as those 
discussed elsewhere in this Form 10Q and from time to time in 
the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings and 
reports.  In addition, such statements could be effected by 
general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and 
general domestic economic conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue
  
The Management changes and cost controls instituted late 
last year is to bearing fruit.  Operating income is up 196% 
for the first six months of this year compared with the 
first six months of last year.  

Price increases combined with sales commission reductions 
for in-state sales went into effect July 1.  The goal of 
this change is to generate a 10% after tax return from 
wholesale sales in Oregon.  Price increases for out-of-state 
sales with the same net return goal go into effect September 
1st, due to the lead time needed by the Company's 
distributors.  Retail prices for all products and 
hospitality services, which account for 22% of the Company's 
net revenues, were increased by like amounts July 1.

The Management believes the market will accept these price 
increases, in large part, due to the high demand for the 
Company's wines.  Pinot Noir has been on allocation for 
several years.  Both Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris have had 
their release dates advanced several years consecutively due 
to high demand.  Additionally, the Company's wine prices 
were below its competitors for wines of equal quality and 
production methods.

The fundamental issues affecting the Company's profitability 
are the products it makes and the positioning of those 
products in the marketplace.  Although the Company's cost of 
making and selling wine by the case is nearly the same as 
its more profitable competitors, the average collected 
revenue per case is considerably less.  The Company needs to 
make more high margin varietals, especially Pinot Noir, and 
less low margin white and blush, off-dry wines.  The Company 
discontinued its past practice of making and selling low 
margin "Lot 27 and 28" Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and 
successfully converted Oregon grocery store shelf placements 
to higher quality, higher margin "Vintage Series" Pinot Noir 
and Chardonnay.

The Management has recently prepared a detailed Five Year 
Plan by brand, variety and package size.  The Management's 
goal is to signicantly increase average gross margins.  This 
is to be done by re-positioning Willamette Valley Vineyards 
branded products, eliminating lower margin products that 
interfere with its strategy and take up valuable production 
capacity, revitalizing Tualatin with a re-positioning of the 
new Tualatin Estate products made in limited quantities and 
sold at higher price points and introducing a Southern 
Oregon brand of warm climate varieties of Merlot, Syrah, 
etc. branded Griffin Creek.

The new Willamette Valley Vineyards Signature Cuvee Pinot 
Noir was introduced at the International Pinot Noir 
Celebration and selected by Oregon's most prominent 
restaurant as one of Oregon's top '96 vintage Pinots.  This 
wine will retail for $48 per bottle.  The '96 Founders' 
Reserve Pinot Noir was released at $28 per bottle, up from 
$18 the previous vintage, is selling briskly and is expected 
to sell out before the '97 vintage is ready to release.  
Next year, the new '97 Single Vineyard Designated Pinots 
will be released at $35 per bottle.

The Tualatin Brand has been revitalized with better wines 
and a new label, Tualatin Estate.  Its flagship Pinot Noir 
will be launched as the '97 Vintage in April 1999 and will 
retail for $21.50 per bottle, up from $12.50 under the 
previous ownership.  The Tualatin White Riesling previously 
selling for $5 per bottle, has been replaced with a dry 
Tualatin Estate Riesling retailing for $8.50 per bottle.

The Griffin Creek Merlot will be released in September 1998 
and will retail for $30 per bottle.

Other issues that are affecting profits are the production 
facilities at Tualatin and the sizable investment in 
Hospitality and Retail facilities at Willamette Valley 
Vineyards.  Management is pursuing ways to lease the 
mothballed wine production facilities at Tualatin Estate and 
increase the paid usage of the Hospitality facilities at 
Willamette Valley Vineyards.   

The Company's ability to make more and better Pinot Noir is 
constrained by fruit supply.  Management has planted all the 
remaining acreage at Tualatin Estate (46 acres) in Pinot 
Noir this year, which will provide 150 more tons at full 
production.  Tualatin is the only vineyard in Oregon to have 
won the Governor's Trophy, the state's most prestigious wine 
award, two years consecutively for its Pinot Noir.  
Management believes Tualatin Estate's soil and climate 
produces among the highest quality Pinot Noir in Oregon.

The Company's revenues from winery operations before the 
deduction of excise taxes are summarized as follows:

Tasting Room sales and rental income for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 increased 6% over the same period in 
1997.  For the first six months of  1998, the sales 
increased  8% over the same period in 1997. To promote 
continual growth in revenue in the hospitality and rental 
program, the Company has contracted  its hospitality and 
catering service to an outside company.  This move has saved 
the Company the annual salary of one employee plus offering 
the customer a more complete set of services.  The Company 
will utilize this savings to hire a data entry person to 
focus on improving the Company's customer data base which 
will improve the Company's efforts in targeting and further 
developing direct mail and telephone sales.

On-site and off-site festival sales for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 increased 16% over the second quarter of 
1997.  For the first half of 1998, sales in this category 
increased 27% over the same period in 1997. During the 
second quarter of  1998, the Company initiated a phone and 
direct mail campaign to obtain orders from the its customer 
data base. Additional revenues from on site phone and mail 
orders amounted to $28,000 in the second quarter over the 
same period last year.

Sales in the state of Oregon, through the Company's 
independent sales force, increased 25% in the three months 
ending June 30, 1998 over the same period in 1997.  For the 
first half of 1998, the sales increased   29% over the same 
period in 1997.  The sales of White Riesling in a special 
package in the first and second quarters of 1998 led to 
increases of $71,000 and $27,000 respectively over the same 
periods in 1997.  The Company's focus on the sale of higher 
margin products achieved significant increases in sales of 
Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir in the first half of 1998 as 
compared to sales in the same period for 1997.  The Company 
also started a program to place its wine in the top 48 
restaurants in the Portland area. So far it has been placed 
in about 50% of these restaurants where the Company's wine 
had not previously appeared on their wine list.  This is a 
substantial move in making the Willamette Valley Vineyards 
brand the significant player in the largest population 
center in Oregon. The Company has also initiated a program 
to do a shelf survey at different locations around the state 
regarding competitor pricing and the location of the 
Company's wine on the shelves of supermarkets.  This data 
will be used to prepare a marketing program to strengthen 
the Company's position in markets where its wine is not 
currently found.  

The May 15, 1998, issue of the Wine Spectator magazine rated 
the 1996 Willamette Valley Vineyards Chardonnay as a leading 
"top pick\best buy" in the world class category.  The 
article also quoted Harvey Steiman, editor at large, 
"Willamette Valley Vineyards, Oregon's second largest 
winery, is on its way to becoming that state's most reliable 
producer of widely available wine...The best is yet to 
come."  With that great endorsement, the Company spent a 
considerable amount of funds in advertising to project the 
Company's Chardonnay image as a best value in its class.  
The funds were spent to project the Company's brand as a 
leading brand of Oregon wineries.  In the months of May and 
June, the Company sold 1,563 cases of Chardonnay as compared 
to 808 cases in the prior year. 

Out-of-state sales in the three months ending June 30, 1998,  
decreased 2% over the same period in 1997.  For the first 
half of 1998, sales increased 16% over the same period in 
1997.  The slight decrease in sales was due to a selling off 
of inventory by distributors purchased in the fourth quarter 
of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998. The Company now sells 
wine in 39 states as compared to 33 states in the first half 
of 1997. The Company experienced growth in the first half of 
1998 in two varieties of wine: Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. 
The programmed price reduction of Pinot Gris increased the 
number of cases sold in the first half of 1998 to 1,829 
cases as compared to 709 cases in the same period in 1997. 
Pinot Noir sales increased to 7,520 cases in the first half 
of 1998 as compared to 6,079 for the same period in 1997. 
This increase in the Pinot Noir variety reaffirms that sales 
of the Company's flagship wine remain quite strong. 

Bulk wine sales were made in the first half of 1998 to 
further reduce excess inventories from the large harvest of 
1997.

Excise taxes 
The Company reports its excise taxes as a deduction of sales 
revenue to equal net revenue (as shown on the Statement of 
Operations).  The amount for the first half of 1998 was 
$96,843. For the same period in 1997, the excise taxes 
collected was $77,861.

Gross Margin
Winery Operations
As a percentage of revenue, gross margin for the winery 
operations decreased to 51% for the quarter ending June 30, 
1998 as compared to 54% in the second quarter of 1997.  For 
the first half of 1998, the gross margin  decreased to 49% 
as compared to 55% for the first half of 1997.  After 
adjusting for the lower margin bulk wine sales, the gross 
margin would have been 55% for the quarter ending June 30, 
1998 as compared to 54% for the same period in 1997. For the 
first half of 1998, the adjusted gross margin would have 
been 55% as compared to 56% in the first half of 1997. The 
slight decrease in margin for the first six months of 1998 
was due to the depletion allowances designed to stimulate 
sales and reduce excess inventory. The Company expects the 
gross margins to remain near this level through 1998.  In 
the past few years, the Company has experienced higher 
production costs, specifically in the price of grapes that 
it purchases from other vineyards.  In order to keep 
margin's at a sustained level, the Company has expanded its 
marketing efforts to sell higher priced wines which have a 
greater profit margin.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9% to 
$639,533 in the second quarter of 1998 from $585,835 in the 
second quarter of 1997. For the first half of 1998,  
selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% 
to $1,207,074 from $1,087,035 in the first half of 1997.  
The increase was principally attributed to higher costs due 
to operating at a higher sales level.  The Company pays its 
in-state sales representatives by commission and  this is 
included as a selling expense.  Thus, as sales in state 
increase, the dollar expenditure for commissions increases 
at the same rate.  Since commissions are based on a fixed 
percentage, there is no adverse effect to margin. The total 
commissions expense for the first half of 1998 was $93,000 
more than the same period in 1997.

More importantly, as a percentage of revenue from winery 
operations, selling, general and administrative expenses 
decreased to 45% in the second quarter of 1998 from 46% in 
the second quarter of 1997.  For the first half of 1998, as 
a percentage of revenue from winery operations, selling, 
general and administrative expenses decreased to 44% from 
52% in the second quarter of 1997. The effect of reduction 
in staff personnel in the latter part of 1997 is partially 
reflected in a lower percentage of expenses against  
revenue.  In addition, the reorganization of delivery routes 
in the remote areas of Oregon resulted in the elimination of 
two vans and accompanying costs. Also, in the first quarter 
of 1998, the Company highlighted certain expenses on a 
"target list" due to excess spending in 1997 in these 
accounts.  The most significant cost reduction in the first 
quarter of 1998 was a $17,000 reduction in legal fees over 
last year's first quarter. Other targeted areas for reduced 
spending include telephones, office supplies, dues and 
publications, and printing and postage. The Company closely 
monitors all expenses in the selling, general, and 
administration and measures all departments strictly against 
their own budgets.

Interest Income, Other Income and Expense

Interest income/other income decreased to $12,696 for the 
second quarter of 1998 from $14,697 for the second quarter 
of 1997 because the Company no longer receives interest 
income from invested funds set aside for the completion of 
the storage facility. For the first half of 1998, interest 
income/other income decreased to $19,912 from $27,858 for 
the first half of 1997. 

Interest expense increased to $123,899 in the second quarter 
of 1998 from $104,399 in 1997.  For the first half of 1998, 
interest expense  increased to $249,756 from $184,312 for 
the second half of 1997. Interest costs in the first half 
rose as the Company borrowed more funds to process and 
bottle wine from its 1996 and 1997 crushes ; to finance the 
construction of a 20,000 square foot warehouse; and  
purchase Tualatin Vineyards Inc., in 1997.  Additional cash 
needs have resulted from the Company becoming a larger 
grower of grapes which means the company needs more cash 
prior to the actual harvest of grapes for labor and 
chemicals costs not needed previously.

Income Taxes

As in prior years, the Company has operated with a seasonal 
net loss for the first six months in 1998, but expects to 
show a profit by the end of 1998. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital balance 
of $2.7 million and a current ratio of 2.1:1.  At December 
31, 1997, the Company had a working capital balance of $2.5 
million and a current ratio of  1.9:1. 

The Company has a cash balance of $500,592 at June 30, 1998. 
Of the total cash available, the Company has set aside funds 
in reserve or various future commitments. It has committed 
$61,000 for a dispute with a contractor over the completion 
of the storage facility built in 1997. The Company is 
retaining the funds until the contractor corrects several 
problems in the building. Also, at June 30, 1998, the 
Company has held $170,000 in reserve to complete the 
planting of 60 acres at Tualatin Vineyards.  This amount 
remained from a $1.3 million loan taken out in April of 1997 
to purchase Tualatin Vineyards and to plant additional 
acreage at Tualatin. The remaining cash will be used as 
operating funds in the next month.
 
The Company obtained a line of credit of $2,000,000 from 
Farm Credit Services in May, 1997 and renewed in May 1998 
for a one year term.  At June 30, 1998, the line of credit 
balance was $1,837,667.

The Company has a total long term debt balance of $4,340,735 
owed to Farm Credit Services. This debt was used to finance 
the Hospitality Center, invest in winery equipment to 
increase capacity, complete the storage facility, and 
purchase Tualatin Vineyards.  The long term debt increased 
in the first half of 1998 as Farm Credit disbursed the 
remaining funds to plant additional vineyards at Tualatin.  
Since May of 1998, the company meets all compliances on its 
long term loan with Farm Credit Services.

At June 30, 1998, the Company has paid all grape contracts 
for the 1997 fall production crop and has contracted 
approximately $1.1 million for the 1998 harvest.
