ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

     On June 7, 2000, Saratoga Beverage Group, Inc. ("Saratoga"), NCP-SBG, L.P.
and NCP-SBG Recapitalization Corp. (collectively, "North Castle") entered into
an Amended and Restated Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement and
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Restated Amendment"). Pursuant to the
Restated Amendment, the period for North Castle and the rollover shareholders to
reach agreement on the restructured post-merger equity of the surviving entity
in the merger was extended from Wednesday, June 7, 2000 to Friday, June 9, 2000.
The Restated Amendment is annexed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference. On June 8, 2000, Saratoga issued a press release with
respect to the Restated Amendment, which press release is annexed as Exhibit
99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

     On June 9, 2000, North Castle and the rollover shareholders reached
agreement on the restructured post-merger equity. The rollover shareholders will
roll over 700,000 shares of common stock at the closing as contemplated by the
merger agreement. In addition, together with certain members of management,
certain of the rollover shareholders have agreed to provide additional capital
to the recapitalized company immediately after the consummation of the merger by
acquiring additional shares and rolling over outstanding options. A portion of
the rollover shares and additional capital will be subject to a limited call. On
June 9, 2000, Saratoga issued a press release with respect to the agreement,
