Mr. Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented on the first quarter results stating, "Our case goods sales and direct sales revenues have been relatively flat for the first quarter primarily as a result of the COVID-19 related shut down of businesses across the world. Bulk wines sales have increased 47% to $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Overall total revenues increased 2% quarter over quarter. Total sales, marketing and administrative expenses decreased 12% during the quarter.  As a result, the Company's net loss decreased 14% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, to $2.4 million as compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The grape and bulk wine business is seasonal, and sales from the current year harvest for those revenues streams are recognized primarily during the third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year."

2020 Harvest Update

Mr. Scott Scheid, President and CEO of the Company, stated, "We are designated as an essential agriculture business and all operations have remained at full employee strength throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Safety protocols are in place and documented as we prepare for the upcoming annual grape harvest. The harvest usually begins in late August in the Company's southernmost vineyards and is expected to be in full swing by mid-September.  This timing is normal for wine grape vineyards on the Central Coast of California. At the present time, management anticipates that yields from the Company's vineyards during the upcoming harvest will be at average levels for most varieties."
