information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been

         Information related to the FIFO method may be useful in comparing
operating results to those of companies not on LIFO. If inventories valued at
LIFO cost had been valued at FIFO cost, net income would have increased by
approximately $2,403,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
decreased by approximately $333,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1995.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

GROSS REVENUES Gross revenues increased by 29.9% to $62.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $47.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
The increase in gross revenues was primarily attributable to a 36.1% increase in
sales volume to 1,368,000 cases in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from
1,005,000 cases in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Due to the limited supply
of the Company's wines, sales volume growth is not expected to continue at this
level throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.

EXCISE TAXES The Company's federal and state excise taxes increased 37.9% to
$3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, from $2.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The dollar increase in excise taxes correlates to the
increase in sales volume, since the excise tax is assessed on a per gallon basis
and the excise tax rate is unchanged from the prior year.

NET REVENUES As a result of the above factors, net revenues increased by 29.4%
to $59.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $45.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996. Net revenues per case decreased 5.0% to $42.30 per
case in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $44.54 per case in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease in net revenues per case was primarily
attributable to a shift in sales mix to the Woodbridge brand.

COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold increased by 42.2% to $33.4 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $23.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996, reflecting the increase in sales volume and rising grape and bulk wine
costs. If inventories valued at LIFO cost had been valued at FIFO cost, then
cost of goods sold would have been $3,939,000 lower and $551,000 higher,
respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996.

GROSS PROFIT Gross profit increased by 15.9% to $25.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $22.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996,
primarily reflecting the increase in sales volume discussed above. The Company's
gross profit percentages for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996 were
43.4% and 48.5%, respectively. The decrease in the gross profit percentage in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was the result of higher grape and bulk wine
costs, including the effect of lower grape yields from the Company's vineyards.

OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses increased by 14.5% to $16.4 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $14.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The ratio of operating expenses to net revenues was 27.7% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 and 31.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The dollar
increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in
sales and marketing expenses associated with increased sales volume. The
improved operating expense ratio in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was due to
a decrease in average promotional dollars spent per case and economies of scale
in personnel and overhead costs achieved as a result of increased net revenues.

INTEREST Interest expense increased by 15.9% to $2.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's average
borrowings that was partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate.

<PAGE>   7
EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF JOINT VENTURES Equity in net income of joint ventures
increased by 41.5% to $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $1.5
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily
attributable to the timing of Opus One's fall release, which resulted in a
higher percentage of Opus One's case shipments during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 when compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for the year is
approximately .6% less than the prior year, which is primarily the result of an
increase in the benefit derived from investment tax credits and the Company's
foreign sales corporation.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE As a result of the above factors, net income
increased to $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $4.6 million
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Earnings per share increased to $.34 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, from $.31 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Working capital as of September 30, 1996, was $143.5 million compared
to $152.8 million at June 30, 1996. The $9.3 million decrease in working capital
is primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of
lower sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 and an increase in accounts payable and book overdraft as
a result of the harvest which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

         The Company has unsecured short-term and long-term credit lines that
have a maximum credit availability of $41.2 million and $50.0 million,
respectively, at October 1, 1996. During the quarter, the Company obtained $50.0
million of unsecured term loans. The proceeds from these loans were used to
repay a portion of the Company's secured long-term debt and a portion of its
unsecured credit lines of $18.9 million and $31.1 million, respectively.
Considering the above, and cash generated from operations which was used to
repay debt, the Company's total debt decreased $1.8 million since June 30, 1996.

         The Company anticipates that current capital combined with cash from
operating activities and the availability of cash under its credit lines will be
sufficient to meet its liquidity and capital expenditure requirements at least
through the end of fiscal 1998.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The above form 10-Q and other information provided from time to time by
the Company contain historical information as well as forward-looking statements
about the Company, the premium wine industry and general business and economic
conditions. Such forward-looking statements include, for example, projections
or predictions about the Company's future growth, consumer demand for its wines,
including new brands and brand extensions, margin trends, the premium wine grape
market and the Company's anticipated future investment in vineyards and other
capital projects. Actual results may differ materially from the Company's
present expectations. Among other things, reduced consumer spending or a change
in consumer preferences could reduce demand for the Company's wines. Similarly,
competition from numerous domestic and foreign vintners could affect the
Company's ability to sustain volume and revenue growth. The price of grapes, the
Company's single largest product cost, is beyond the Company's control and
higher grape costs may put more pressure on the Company's gross profit margin
than is currently forecast. Interest rates and other business and economic
conditions could increase significantly the cost and risks of projected capital
spending. For additional cautionary statements identifying important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking
information, please refer to Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. For these and other reasons, no
forward-looking statement by the Company can nor should be taken as a guarantee
of what will happen in the future.
