In 2010 We Predicted

• Trading-down will end but profitability will be impacted
• “L” shaped recovery
• Improving affluent consumption – with a continuing gulf
• Price pressure on wines in distribution
• Slightly too much inventory. Growers will be impacted.
• Modest improvement in restaurant sales
• Distribution continues ambivalent toward small wineries
• Discounting into Q3 2010
• Sales growth in the 8% - 12% range overall for Fine Wine

Economic Opportunity … Smells Like Recovery

• Government Still Spending on Stimulus
• Factories Producing More
• Consumers Spending More – Going Out More
• Companies Hiring More – Unemployment dropping
• Retail Sales Improving
• Stability of the Tax System/Rates
• Improved Consumer and Business Sentiment … But
• Huge Unknowns in Macro and National Economies, Geo-
  Political Risk, and Securitizations

Long Term Credit Rating

                                       Tim Geitner, 2/8/2010: “The U.S. is in no
                                       danger of losing its Aaa debt rating”

                                       S&P, 4/18/2011: We believe there is a
                                       material risk that U.S. policymakers might
                                       not reach an agreement on how to address
                                       medium- and long-term budgetary
                                       challenges by 2013. If an agreement is not
                                       reached and meaningful implementation is
                                       not begun by then, this would in our view
                                       render the U.S. fiscal profile
                                       meaningfully weaker than that of peer

Predictions for 2011-2012

•   Growth in luxury goods will outpace the rest of the economy
•   Trading up trend will accelerate in higher priced wine
•   Marginally improved pricing power at the producer level
•   Boomers and Gen X will support most of the fine wine recovery
•   Improving restaurant sales, specifically in full-serve restaurants
•   Producer level inventory closer to balanced than most seem to think
•   Shifting threats to the legal landscape for direct shipping
•   Flat or declining pricing on grape contracts except in best properties
•   Sales growth of 11% - 15% with marginally improving profits
•   Slowly improving economy, but several issues that hold back prediction
    of a rapid return to the good old days.

  • 48. Predictions for 2011-2012 • Growth in luxury goods will outpace the rest of the economy • Trading up trend will accelerate in higher priced wine • Marginally improved pricing power at the producer level • Boomers and Gen X will support most of the fine wine recovery • Improving restaurant sales, specifically in full-serve restaurants • Producer level inventory closer to balanced than most seem to think • Shifting threats to the legal landscape for direct shipping • Flat or declining pricing on grape contracts except in best properties • Sales growth of 11% - 15% with marginally improving profits • Slowly improving economy, but several issues that hold back prediction of a rapid return to the good old days.
