Item 5.  Other events

        On October 21, 1994 the Registrant announced that it expects
its net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 ("Fiscal
1994") will be approximately $630 million, compared with net
sales of approximately $306 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, approximately 10
months of net sales of the Paul Masson, 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 also announced that for Fiscal 1994 it expects fully
diluted earnings per common share to be in the range of $1.62 to
$1.65 per share, exclusive of the impact of a restructuring
charge which the Company will take in the fourth quarter of
Fiscal 1994, compared with fully diluted earnings of $1.20 per
share for Fiscal 1993.  The Company estimates that the
restructuring charge will reduce after-tax net income by
approximately $14.8 million, or $0.91 per share.  As previously
announced on September 7, 1994 the restructuring charge relates
to a plan to restructure the operations of the Company's
California wineries, including a 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 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 cost savings beginning in fiscal 1996.

The foregoing information pertaining to Fiscal 1994 net sales and
earnings per share is based on unaudited financial information
and is therefore subject to the completion of the audit of the
Company's financial statements and appropriate year end
adjustments.  The Company expects to announce its Fiscal 1994
audited results prior to November 15, 1994.

 
                                                              SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, each Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
