                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - Consolidated Financial Statements

The  consolidated  balance  sheet as of  September  30, 1999,  the  consolidated
statements of Income for the three-month  and six-month  periods ended September
30,  1999,  and 1998,  and the  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows for the
three-month and six-month periods  then-ended have been prepared by the Company,
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  Company's
financial  position,  results of operations and cash flow at September 30, 1999,
and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted.  For further  information,  reference  should be
made  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  included  in the
Company's  Form  10-K  for the year  ended  March  31,  1999,  on file  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.


NOTE 2 - Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the
current period presentation.


NOTE 3 - Comprehensive Income

In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.130  ("SFAS 130")  Reporting  Comprehensive
Income.  SFAS 130 requires the  reporting of a new measure of income which takes
into  account  certain  elements  otherwise  recorded  directly  in equity.  The
following  is a  reconciliation  of net  income  and  comprehensive  income  (in
thousands):

NOTE 4 - Earnings per Share

Basic EPS represents the income available to common shareholders  divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
represents the income available to common  shareholders  divided by the weighted
average of common shares  outstanding  while also giving effect to the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
(e.g.  stock options) were  exercised and converted into stock.  For all periods
presented,  the difference  between basic and diluted EPS for the Company is due
to the dilutive effect of stock options and stock warrants as shown below.  This
effect is calculated using the treasury stock method.

In April 1999,  debentures with a face value of $6.5 million were converted into
738,014  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.  At such time,  holders of the
remaining $2.0 million in debentures  elected not to exercise  their  conversion
rights and the Company repaid the $2.0 million using available  borrowings under
its line of credit. For all periods presented,  these convertible debentures are
excluded  from  the   computation  of  diluted  EPS,  as  these  either  had  an
antidilutive effect, or simply do not exist anymore.

NOTE 5 - Acquisition of Staton Hills Winery

On June 15, 1999, the Company  purchased 100% of the  outstanding  shares of SHW
Equity  Company,  a holding  company which,  in turn,  owns 100% of Staton Hills
Winery ("SHW") and its adjacent vineyards in Yakima County, Washington. The cost
of the acquisition, which included $3.3 million of SHW's notes payable that were
repaid by the Company at the date of the  acquisition,  was  approximately  $6.0
million and was financed with the Company's long-term bank line of credit.

The  acquisition  was recorded  using the purchase  method of accounting and the
acquisition  price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities  assumed
based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the acquisition  price over
the fair value of net assets  acquired was recorded as goodwill,  which is being
amortized over 20 years.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time,  information provided by the Company,  statements made by its
employees,  or  information  included in its  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission  (including this Form 10-Q) may contain statements which are
not historical facts, so called "forward looking  statements" that involve risks
and  uncertainties.  Forward  looking  statements  are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When
used in this Form 10-Q, the terms "anticipates,"  "expects,"  "projects," "may,"
"may not,"  "believes," and other similar terms as they relate to the Company or
its  management  are intended to identify such forward  looking  statements.  In
particular, statements made in this Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations,  relating to  projections or
predictions  about the  Company's  future  investments  in  vineyards  and other
capital  projects are forward looking  statements.  The Company's  actual future
results  may differ  significantly  from  those  stated in any  forward  looking
statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited
to (i) reduced  consumer  spending or a change in  consumer  preferences,  which
could reduce  demand for the Company's  wines;  (ii)  competition  from numerous
domestic and foreign wine producers which could affect the Company's  ability to
sustain volume and revenue  growth;  (iii) interest rates and other business and
economic  conditions  which could increase  significantly  the cost and risks of
projected capital  spending;  (iv) the price and availability in the marketplace
of grapes meeting the Company's  quality standards and other  requirements;  (v)
the effect of weather and other  natural  forces on growing  conditions  and, in
turn,  the quality and  quantity of grapes  produced by the Company and (vi) the
risks  associated with the  assimilation  of Staton Hills Winery.  Each of these
factors,  and other risks  pertaining to the Company,  the premium wine industry
and general  business and economic  conditions,  are more fully discussed herein
and  from  time to time in  other  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,  including  the  Company's  annual  report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 1999.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

The Company  produces,  markets and sells super,  ultra and super-ultra  premium
white and red varietal table wines,  primarily Chardonnay,  Pinot Noir, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot. The Company operates six wineries; four located in various
counties  of  California,  and two  located  in the  State  of  Washington.  The
Company's  wines  are  made   principally  from  grapes  grown  at  the  Chalone
Vineyard(R),  Carmenet(R)  Vineyard,  Edna  Valley  Vineyard(R),   Company-owned
vineyards adjacent to the Acacia(TM) Winery in California and the Canoe Ridge(R)
Vineyard in Washington  State.  These wines are primarily  sold under the labels
"Chalone Vineyard," "Edna Valley Vineyard,"  "Carmenet,"  "Acacia," "Canoe Ridge
Vineyard," and "Echelon(TM)".

As a result of a  substantial  investment  in the  Company by  France-based  Les
Domaines  Barons  de  Rothschild  (Lafite)  ("DBR"),  the  Company  receives  an
allocation of DBR wines,  including the wines of Chateau  Lafite-Rothschild  and
Chateau  Duhart-Milon,  first-growth  and  fourth-growth  Bordeaux region wines,
respectively.

The Chalone  Wine Group,  Ltd. was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of
California on June 27, 1969. Unless otherwise  indicated,  the term "Company" as
used in this report refers to The Chalone Wine Group,  Ltd. and its consolidated
subsidiaries. The Company became a publicly held reporting company as the result
of an initial public offering of common stock in 1984. Today, the Company is one
of only nine publicly held U.S.  corporations whose principal business is in the
production, marketing and selling of wine.

</TABLE>


Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three-month and six-month  periods ended September 30, 1999
increased  approximately 16% and 18%, respectively,  over the comparable periods
in the prior year.  These  increases were due almost equally to (i) increases in
the average  revenue-per-case  due to selected  price  increases  and changes in
product mix, and (ii) increased sales volume.

Gross Profit

Gross  profit for the three  months and six months  ended  September  30,  1999,
increased by approximately 21% and 22% respectively, over the comparable periods
in the prior  year.  For the  quarter  ended  September  30,  the  gross  margin
increased from 43.5% in 1998 to 45.3% in 1999,  while the gross margin increased
from 44.8% to 46.3%,  respectively,  for the six months ended September 30, 1998
and 1999. These gross margin increases are the direct result of increases in the
average  revenue-per-case due to selected price increases and changes in product
mix.

Other Revenue from Operations

Other revenue from operations  consists of (i) processing and other revenue from
third-party  wineries  and (ii) net profit from sales of bulk wine.  The Company
cannot predict the effect on future operating results, as this source of revenue
is highly  unpredictable  and largely  contingent on other wineries'  demand for
extra production  capacity,  which can and does vary  significantly from year to
year.

Other revenue from  operations  for the six months ended  September 30, 1999 and
1998 was  entirely  attributable  to  custom-bottling  activities.  Fluctuations
between  the  current  periods  and the  prior  periods  are the  result  of the
unpredictable nature of this type of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months and six months
ended September 30, 1999, increased by approximately  $747,000, or 29%, and $1.3
million,  or 25%,  respectively,  over the comparable periods in the prior year.
These  increases  are  primarily  as  a  result  of  increased  selling  efforts
consistent  with the  corresponding  $1.8 million and $3.6  million  increase in
gross revenues.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Operating Income

Operating  income for the three months and six months ended  September 30, 1999,
increased   approximately  10%  to  $2.5  million,  and  17%  to  $4.5  million,
respectively,  primarily due to the increases in gross  profits  surpassing  the
related increases in selling,  general and administrative  expenses as discussed
above.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense for the three months and six months ended  September 30, 1999,
increased  approximately  42% and 30%,  respectively,  primarily  due to  higher
average outstanding borrowings which are a result of (i) the Staton Hills Winery
acquisition  which  occurred  during the  quarter  ended June 30,  1999 and (ii)
continuing capital  expenditures,  related to winery-expansion over the past two
years.

Equity in Net Income of Duhart-Milon

Consistent  with the prior year, the Company's  23.5% equity interest in the net
income of Chateau  Duhart-Milon  ("Duhart-Milon")  for the three  months and six
months ended September 30, 1999, are $193,000 and $530,000,  respectively. These
results are primarily driven by sales of the 1997 vintage of Duhart-Milon, which
are  consistent  with  sales of the 1996  vintage  reflected  in the  prior-year
results.

The Company  monitors  its  investment  in  Duhart-Milon  primarily  through its
on-going   communication   with  Domaines  Barons  de  Rothschild   (DBR).  Such
communication is facilitated by the presence of the Company's  chairman on DBR's
Board  of  Directors,  and  DBR's  representation  on  the  Company's  Board  of
Directors.  Additionally,  various key  employees of the Company  make  frequent
visits to Duhart-Milon's offices and productions facilities.

The Company's investment in Duhart-Milon is a long-term  investment  denominated
in French Francs. The Company's reserve for currency translation  adjustment was
$2,458,000 as of September 30, 1999.  This increased by $162,000 since March 31,
1999,  due to the  decrease  in the  relative  worth of the  French  Franc  when
compared to the U.S. dollar. The European Union's transition to "EURO" currency,
which  became  effective as of January 1, 1999,  is not  expected to  materially
affect the  valuation of the  Company's  investment  in  Duhart-Milon.  Currency
fluctuations  are  recorded  as  a  "cumulative  foreign  currency   translation
adjustment" in the equity section of the Company's  consolidated  balance sheet,
and in comprehensive income as required by the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.130 ("SFAS 130") - Reporting Comprehensive Income.

Minority Interest

The  minority  interest  in  the  net  income  of EVV  increased  13%  and  16%,
respectively,  during the three months and six months ended  September  30, 1999
when compared to the same periods last year.  These  increases are primarily due
to increased sales volume of EVV wines.

The minority  interest in the net income of CRV  decreased  $36,000,  or 35% and
$8,000,  or 5%,  respectively,  during the three  months  and six  months  ended
September 30, 1999 when compared to the same periods last year.  The  relatively
important   decrease  in  the  quarter  ended   September  30,  1999  is  mostly
attributable to the timing of CRV wine sales,  having  experienced  particularly
high sales in the immediately preceding quarter.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Net  Income

Net income for the three months and six months  ended  September  30, 1999,  was
$1,014,000 and $1,940,000, respectively,  relfecting increases of 3.8% and 14.3%
over the comparable periods in the prior year. These increases are primarily due
to  increased  gross  profits,  offset  by  (i)  higher  selling,   general  and
administrative expenses and (ii) higher financing costs.

YEAR 2000

The year 2000 issue  ("Y2K") is the result of computer  programs  being  written
using two digits  rather than four digits to determine the  applicable  year. As
presently programmed, the Company's computer programs and systems that have time
sensitive  software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the  year  2000.  Unless  reprogrammed,  in the  future  this  could  result  in
miscalculations  causing  disruptions  of  operations,  including,  among  other
things, temporary  inefficiencies in processing transactions,  sending invoices,
or engaging in similar normal business activities.

At this time, the Company believes that the  reprogramming  phase related to its
internal computer systems and software is largely  completed,  with the possible
exception of any problems  that might arise during the remainder of the calendar
year while undergoing the final,  real-time  testing phase of the Y2K conversion
process. Nevertheless, since testing of Y2K functionality has only occurred in a
simulated  environment,  the Company  cannot  guarantee any degree of success in
implementing  Y2K system  changes  until year 2000.  However,  to the extent the
Company is unable to address any of its Year 2000 issues,  the Company  believes
that it could revert to manual processes  previously  employed or outsource work
with minimal  incremental  cost. Y2K compliance is to some extent dependent upon
vendor  cooperation.   The  Company  recognizes  that  any  Y2K  system  related
compliance  failures  could result in  additional  expenses to the Company,  the
materiality of which cannot be predicted at this time.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital:

Working capital remained virtually  unchanged during the quarter ended September
30, 1999, starting at $51.4 million and ending at $51.5 million.  During the six
months ended September 30, 1999,  however,  working  capital  increased 5%, from
$49.2  million to $51.5  million  primarily due to financing the purchase of all
Staton Hills Winery ("SHW") assets, current and long-term, through the Company's
long-term line of credit.

Cash Flows:

Cash Flows from Operating  Activities:  During the three months ended  September
30,  1999,  operating  cash flows were $1.0  million  less than  during the same
period last year,  primarily  as a result of timing  differences  involving  the
receipts of accounts receivable and the payment of accounts payable.  During the
six months ended September 30, 1999, operating cash flows were $2.0 million less
than during the same period last year, mostly due to the receipt of a settlement
advance of $4.5 million in the prior year.

Cash Flows from Investing  Activities:  Cash flows used in investing  activities
for the three-month  period ended September 30, 1999 only increased by $135,000,
or 4%, when  compared  to the prior  year,  thus  reflecting  similar  levels of
capital expenditures.  Cash flows used in investing activities for the six-month
period ended September 30, 1999 increased by $5.4 million, or 97%, when compared
to the  prior  year,  primarily  due  to the  aforementioned  $6.1  million  SHW
acquisition.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities:  For the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
cash flows  provided by  financing  activities  decreased  by $1.2  million when
compared  to the  prior  year  due to  timing  differences  in the  need for the
Company's  line(s) of credit.  For the six months ended September 30, 1999, cash
flows provided by financing  activities  increased by $7.5 million when compared
to the prior year,  primarily due to the aforementioned $6.1 million purchase of
SHW, which was financed through the Company's line of credit.

General:

The  Company is not aware of any  potential  impairments  to its  liquidity  and
believes its capital  resources are adequate to meet current and historic levels
of capital  expenditures  and its  liquidity  needs for at least the next twelve
months.

Item 3.  Disclosures About Market Risk

You should read the  following  disclosures  in  conjunction  with  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  which
have been drafted in compliance  with recently  adopted  regulations  of the SEC
concerning the use of "Plain English." These disclosures are intended to discuss
certain material risks of the Company's business as they appear to management at
this time.  However,  this list is not  exhaustive.  Other risks may, and likely
will, arise from time to time.

Our Revenues  and  Operating  Results  Fluctuate  Significantly  from Quarter to
Quarter

We  believe  period-to-period  comparisons  of our  operating  results  are  not
necessarily  meaningful,  and  cannot be  relied  upon as  indicators  of future
performance.  In addition, there can be no assurance that our revenues will grow
or be  sustained  in  future  periods  or  that  we will  maintain  our  current
profitability   in  the   future.   Significant   factors  in  these   quarterly
fluctuations,  none of which are within our  control,  are  changes in  consumer
demand for our wines,  the effect of weather and other natural forces on growing
conditions  and, in turn,  the quality  and  quantity of grapes  produced by us,
interest rates and other  business and economic  conditions.  Additionally,  our
sales-volume  tends to be affected by price increases,  distributors'  inventory
levels and the timing of  releases  for  certain  wines,  among  other  factors.
Consequently,  we have  experienced,  and  expect  to  continue  to  experience,
seasonal fluctuations in revenues and operating results.

A large  portion of our  expenses  is fixed and  difficult  to reduce in a short
period of time.  In quarters  when  revenues do not meet our  expectations,  our
level of fixed expenses tends to exacerbate the adverse effect on net income. In
quarters when our operating  results are below the expectations of public market
analysts or investors, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Our Profits  Depend  Largely on Sales in Certain  States and on Sales of Certain
Varietals

In the six months ended September 30, 1999,  approximately 69% of our wine sales
were  concentrated  in 20  states.  Changes in  national  consumer  spending  or
consumer  spending in these states and other regions of the country could affect
both the  quantity  and price  level of wines  that  customers  are  willing  to
purchase.

Approximately 89% of our net revenues in the six months ended September 30, 1999
were concentrated in our top four selling varietal wines. Specifically, sales of
Chardonnay,  Pinot Noir,  Cabernet  Sauvignon and Merlot accounted for 45%, 13%,
20%  and 11% of our  net  revenues,  respectively,  for  the  six  months  ended
September 30, 1999.

Competition May Harm Our Business

The premium table wine industry is intensely  competitive and highly fragmented.
Our wines  compete in all of the premium  wine market  segments  with many other
premium  domestic and foreign wines,  with imported wines coming  primarily from
the  Burgundy  and Bordeaux  regions of France and, to a lesser  extent,  Italy,
Chile,  Argentina,  South  Africa and  Australia.  Our wines also  compete  with
popular-priced  generic wines and with other  alcoholic and, to a lesser degree,
non-alcoholic  beverages,  for shelf  space in retail  stores and for  marketing
focus by our  independent  distributors,  many of which  carry  extensive  brand
portfolios.

Additionally, the wine industry has experienced significant consolidation.  Many
of our  competitors  have greater  financial,  technical,  marketing  and public
relations resources than we do. Our sales may be harmed to the extent we are not
able  to  compete   successfully  against  such  wine  or  alternative  beverage
producers.

Our Business is Seasonal

Our  business  is subject  to  seasonal  as well as  quarterly  fluctuations  in
revenues and operating  results.  Our sales volume tends to increase  during the
summer months and the holiday season and decrease after the holiday season. As a
result,  our sales and earnings are typically highest during the fourth calendar
quarter and lowest in the first calendar  quarter.  Seasonal factors also affect
our level of borrowing.  For example, our borrowing levels typically peak during
the  winter  when  we  have  to pay  for  harvest  costs  and  may  have to make
contractual  payments  to grape  growers.  These  and  other  factors  may cause
fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.

Item 3.  Disclosures About Market Risk (Continued)

Bad Weather, Pests and Plant Diseases Could Harm Our Business

Winemaking  and grape  growing are subject to a variety of  agricultural  risks.
Various  diseases and pests and extreme  weather  conditions  can materially and
adversely  affect the quality and quantity of grapes available to us. This could
reduce the quality or amount of wine we produce.  A deterioration in the quality
of our wines could harm our brand name, and a decrease in our  production  could
reduce our sales and profits.  Future government  restrictions regarding the use
of certain  materials  used in grape growing may increase  vineyard costs and/or
reduce production.

Grape  growing  requires  adequate  water  supplies.  We  generally  supply  our
vineyards'  water needs through wells and reservoirs  located on our properties.
We believe that we have adequate  water supplies to meet the needs of all of our
vineyards.  However,  a substantial  reduction in water supplies could result in
material losses of grape crops and vines. Many California  vineyards,  including
vineyards in Northern  California,  have been infested with  Phylloxera,  a root
louse that  renders a vine  economically  unproductive  within a few years after
infestation.  The current  strain of  Phylloxera  primarily  affects  vines of a
certain  type.  Our vineyard  properties  are  primarily  planted to  rootstocks
believed to be resistant to Phylloxera.  However,  we cannot be certain that our
existing  vineyards  or the  rootstocks  we are now  using in our  planting  and
replanting  programs will not in the future become susceptible to current or new
strains of  Phylloxera,  plant insects or diseases,  any of which could harm our
business.

The weather  phenomenon  commonly  referred to as "El Nino" produced heavy rains
and  cooler  weather  during the Spring of 1998,  which  resulted  in colder and
wetter  soils  than  are  typical  during  California's  grape  growing  season.
Consequently,  the 1998 harvest was postponed by approximately four to six weeks
- depending on the  geographical  location and  varietals.  The unusual  weather
conditions resulting from El Nino impacted quantity and quality of the Company's
1998 estate  harvest.  The size of the Company's most  significant  crops ranged
from normal-sized  yields to 50% of normal yields (depending on the varietal and
the particular estate).

Despite the  foregoing  reduction in the yield of certain  crops,  the harvested
estate crops, in combination  with contracted grape purchases (most of which are
tonnage-based),   are  expected  to  permit  the  Company  to  meet   originally
anticipated  sales-projections  for its 1998  vintage  Chardonnay,  Cabernet and
Merlot varietals which,  together,  have historically  comprised between 80% and
85% of its aggregate annual production.

We May Not Be Able to Grow or Acquire Enough Quality Grapes for Our Wines

The adequacy of our grape supply is  influenced  by consumer  demand for wine in
relation to industry-wide production levels. While we believe that we can secure
sufficient  supplies of grapes from a combination of our own production and from
grape supply contracts with independent growers, we cannot be certain that grape
supply  shortages  will not occur. A shortage in the supply of wine grapes could
result  in an  increase  in the  price  of some  or all  grape  varieties  and a
corresponding increase in our wine production costs.

Industry  trends point to rapid plantings of new vineyards and replanting of old
vineyards  to  greater  densities,  with the  expected  result of  significantly
increasing  the supply of premium  wine grapes and the amount of wine which will
be produced in the future.  This  expected  increase in grape  production  could
result in an excess of supply over demand and force  wineries to reduce,  or not
increase, prices.

We Depend on Third Parties to Sell Our Wine

We sell our products primarily through independent  distributors and brokers for
resale to retail  outlets,  restaurants,  hotels and  private  clubs  across the
United  States and in some  overseas  markets.  To a lesser  degree,  we rely on
direct sales from our wineries,  our wine library and direct mail.  Sales to our
largest  distributor  and  to  our  nineteen  largest   distributors   combined,
represented  approximately 5% and 41%, respectively,  of our net revenues during
the  six  months  ended  September  30,  1999.  Sales  to our  nineteen  largest
distributors are expected to continue to represent a substantial  portion of our
net  revenues in the future.  We use a broker in order to sell our wines  within
California.  Such sales  represent 28% of our net revenues  during the six month
period ended  September 30, 1999.  The laws and  regulations  of several  states
prohibit  changes of distributors,  except under certain limited  circumstances,
making it difficult to terminate a  distributor  without  reasonable  cause,  as
defined by applicable statutes. The resulting difficulty or inability to replace
distributors,  poor  performance of our major  distributors  or our inability to
collect accounts receivable from our major distributors could harm our business.

                          The Chalone Wine Group, Ltd.

Item 3.  Disclosures About Market Risk (Continued)

New Regulations or Increased Regulatory Costs Could Harm Our Business

The wine industry is subject to extensive  regulation  by the Federal  Bureau of
Alcohol,  Tobacco  and  Firearms  and various  foreign  agencies,  state  liquor
authorities  and local  authorities.  These  regulations  and laws  dictate such
matters  as  licensing  requirements,  trade and  pricing  practices,  permitted
distribution  channels,   permitted  and  required  labeling,   advertising  and
relations  with  wholesalers  and  retailers.  Any  expansion  of  our  existing
facilities or development of new vineyards or wineries may be limited by present
and  future  zoning  ordinances,  environmental  restrictions  and  other  legal
requirements.  In addition,  new  regulations  or  requirements  or increases in
excise taxes, income taxes,  property and sales taxes or international  tariffs,
could reduce our profits. Future legal or regulatory challenges to the industry,
either individually or in the aggregate, could harm our business.

We Will Need More Working Capital to Grow

The  premium  wine  industry  is a  capital-intensive  business  which  requires
substantial capital expenditures to develop and acquire vineyards and to improve
or expand wine production.  Further, the farming of vineyards and acquisition of
grapes and bulk wine require  substantial amounts of working capital. We project
the  need  for  significant  capital  spending  and  increased  working  capital
requirements  over the next several  years,  which must be financed by cash from
operations or additional borrowings or other financing.

Adverse Public Opinion About Alcohol May Harm Our Business

A number of research  studies  suggest that various  health  benefits may result
from the moderate consumption of alcohol, but other studies suggest that alcohol
consumption  does not have any health benefits and may in fact increase the risk
of  stroke,  cancer and other  illnesses.  If an  unfavorable  report on alcohol
consumption  gains  general  support,  it could harm the wine  industry  and our
business.

We Use  Pesticides  and  Other  Hazardous  Substances  in the  Operation  of Our
Business

We use  pesticides  and  other  hazardous  substances  in the  operation  of our
business. If hazardous substances are discovered on, or emanate from, any of our
properties,  and their release presents a threat of harm to public health or the
environment, we may be held strictly liable for the cost of remediation. Payment
of such costs could have a material  adverse  effect on our business,  financial
condition and results of operations.  We maintain  insurance against these kinds
of risks, and others,  under various insurance policies.  However, our insurance
may not be adequate or may not  continue to be  available at a price or on terms
that are satisfactory to us.

Contamination of Our Wines Would Harm Our Business

We also are subject to certain  hazards and liability  risks,  such as potential
contamination,  through  tampering or  otherwise,  of  ingredients  or products.
Contamination  of any of our wines could result in the need for a product recall
which could  significantly  damage our reputation for product quality,  which we
believe is one of our principle  competitive  advantages.  We maintain insurance
against these kinds of risks,  and others,  under various general  liability and
product liability insurance policies. However, our insurance may not be adequate
or may not continue to be available at a price or on terms that are satisfactory
to us.

The Loss of Key Employees Would Damage Our Reputation and Business

Our success  depends to some degree upon the  continued  services of a number of
key employees.  Although some key employees are under employment  contracts with
us for  specific  terms,  the  loss  of the  services  of one or more of our key
employees  could harm our business and our  reputation,  particularly  if one or
more of our key  employees  resigns to join a competitor  or to form a competing
company. In such an event,  despite provisions in our employment contracts which
are designed to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our trade secrets,
practices or procedures by such personnel under these  circumstances,  we cannot
be certain  that we would be able to enforce  these  provisions  or prevent such
disclosures.

Item 3.  Disclosures About Market Risk (Continued)

Shifts in Foreign Exchange Rates or the Imposition of Adverse Trade  Regulations
Could Harm Our Business

We conduct some of our import and export activity for wine,  packaging  supplies
and various wine production  needs in foreign  currencies.  We purchase  foreign
currency  on the spot  market  on an  as-needed  basis  and  engage  in  limited
financial hedging  activities to offset the risk of exchange rate  fluctuations.
There is a risk that a shift in certain foreign exchange rates or the imposition
of unforeseen and adverse trade  regulations could adversely impact the costs of
these items and have an adverse impact on our operating results.

In addition,  the imposition of unforeseen and adverse trade  regulations  could
have an adverse effect on our imported wine  operations.  We do not believe that
our foreign exchange risk and international  operations  exposure is material at
this time, but the volume of  international  transactions  is increasing and may
increase these risks in the future.

Infringement of Our Trademarks May Damage Our Brand Names or Our Business

Our wines are branded consumer  products,  and we distinguish our wines from our
competitors by strong and vigilant  enforcement of our trademarks.  There can be
no assurance that competitors will refrain from using trademarks,  tradenames or
trade dress which dilute our intellectual  property rights, and any such actions
may  require  us to become  involved  in  litigation  to protect  these  rights.
Litigation of this nature can be very expensive and tends to divert management's
time and attention.

Our Acquisition of Staton Hills Winery and Potential Future Acquisitions Involve
a Number of Risks

Our  acquisition  of Staton Hills  Winery (and  potential  future  acquisitions)
involves  risks  which  include  assimilating  Staton  Hills  into our  Company;
integrating,  retaining and motivating key Staton Hills  personnel;  integrating
and  managing  geographically-dispersed  operations  because  Staton Hills is in
Washington State and our Company is headquartered in California; integrating the
technology  and  infrastructures  of the two  companies;  risks  inherent in the
production of wine in, and  marketing of wine from,  Washington  State,  and the
risks to our Company of the increased negative cash flow and increased operating
expenses arising from the acquisition of, and plans for, Staton Hills.

The integration of the  operations,  technology and personnel of our Company and
Staton Hills' is expected to be a complex,  time consuming and expensive process
and may disrupt our business if not completed in a timely and efficient  manner.
Staton  Hills and  Chalone  must  operate as a combined  organization  utilizing
common information and communications systems,  operating procedures,  financial
controls  and  human   resources   practices.   We  may  encounter   substantial
difficulties,  costs and  delays,  including  potential  incompatibility  of our
business  cultures,  perceived adverse changes in our business plans,  potential
conflicts  in our  supplier  and  customer  relationships  and  the  loss of key
employees  and  diversion of the  attention  of  management  from other  ongoing
business initiatives.

The Market Price of Our Common Stock Fluctuates

All of the foregoing risks,  among others not known or mentioned in this report,
may have a significant  effect on the market price of our shares.  Stock markets
have  experienced  extreme price and volume trading  volatility in recent months
and years. This volatility has had a substantial  effect on the market prices of
securities   of   many   companies   for   reasons   frequently   unrelated   or
disproportionate  to the specific company's operating  performance.  These broad
market fluctuations may reduce the market price of our shares.
