     This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 7, 2000, by Vincor International Inc. ("Parent"), a
corporation organized under the laws of Canada, Vincor Holdings, Inc. ("Hold
Co."), a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Parent, and Toast Acquisition
Company, Inc. ("Purchaser"), a California corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Hold Co. Parent, Hold Co. and Purchaser are sometimes referred to
together as the "Purchaser Group." The Schedule TO refers to the offer by the
Purchaser (the "Offer") to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the common
stock ("Shares") of R.H. Phillips, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), at a purchase price of $7.00 per Share, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated September 7, 2000
(the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal included in the
Schedule TO.

     The following items in the Schedule TO are hereby amended in order to amend
in the manner described below the disclosure in the Offer to Purchase:

Item 1. Summary Term Sheet

The following Question and Answer is added on page 4 of the Offer to Purchase:

Q:   WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE MERGER AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED?

A:   If the merger agreement is terminated for any reason, we must terminate
this offer as soon as practicable and promptly return any tendered shares to the
tendering shareholders.

     If the merger agreement is terminated for any of the following reasons,
R.H. Phillips must pay us a termination fee of $1 million plus the amount of our
reasonable documented expenses in connection with these transactions:

     -    The R.H. Phillips board of directors withdraws its recommendation that
          shareholders accept the offer and tender their shares

     -    The R.H. Phillips board of directors enters into a reorganization,
          merger, or other business combination transaction involving R.H.
          Phillips and another party

     -    A material breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of
          R.H. Phillips in the merger agreement

     If the merger agreement is terminated because any of the shareholders who
signed an agreement to tender their shares breaches his or her obligation to do
so, R.H. Phillips must pay us a termination fee of $1.5 million plus the amount
of our reasonable documented expenses.

     If the merger agreement is terminated because of a material breach of our
representations, warranties or covenants in the merger agreement, we must pay
R.H. Phillips a termination fee of $1 million plus the amount of its reasonable
documented expenses.

     If the merger agreement is terminated because the financing commitment from
our lender terminates before October 9, 2000, we must pay R.H. Phillips a
termination fee of $1.5 million plus the amount of its reasonable documented
expenses.

     If the merger agreement terminates for any reason, and within one year R.H.
Phillips either announces a letter of intent or other agreement related to a
business combination with another

party, or consummates a business combination transaction with another party,
then R.H. Phillips must pay Vincor, our parent, $9 million in cash upon the
consummation of that business combination transaction.

Item 7. Certain Information Concerning the Company

     The third sentence of the first paragraph on page 16 of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby amended to read as follows:

     Accordingly, the inclusion of the Growth Targets in this Offer should not
     be regarded as an indication that the Purchaser Group, the Company or their
     respective financial advisors or their respective officers and directors
     consider such information to be accurate or reliable, and the Purchaser
     Group and the respective financial advisors of the Purchaser Group and the
     Company assume no responsibility for the accuracy therefor.

Item 10. Purpose of the Offer; The Merger Agreement

     The first sentence of the paragraph under the heading "Grape Purchase
Agreement" on page 32 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read as follows:

     As a condition to the Merger Agreement and the Offer, the Company has
     entered into a Grape Purchase Agreement with JK Vineyards LLC, a limited
     liability company owned by the Giguiere family (the "Grower"), pursuant to
     which the Grower will sell grapes to the Company.

Item 13. Certain Conditions of the Offer

     The following sentence has been added at the end of the last paragraph of
this section on page 35 of the Offer to Purchase:

     Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, all conditions to the Offer,
     other than those dependent on the receipt of necessary governments
     approvals, must be satisfied of waived before the expiration of the Offer.
