"This financing for Cameron Hughes Wine reflects the Bacchus Capital
Management mission and clearly illustrates the opportunity for us in the
market today. There is an increasing demand for wine, especially super- and
ultra-premium brands, and a growing need for capital and industry experience,"
said Sam Bronfman II, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Bacchus. "The
opportunity to finance an innovator at the premium end of the wine industry
and one of the fastest growing private companies in America is an ideal first
transaction for us."

"We are proud of Bacchus Capital Management's great confidence in the strength
of our business. Bacchus will provide us with the working capital we need to
expand our inventory, organization and distribution so that we can continue
our strong record of growth," said Cameron Hughes, Founder and President of
Cameron Hughes Wine. "The team from Bacchus comes to us with more than money.
They have great industry experience and skill that we will be able to
leverage."

"We are excited to provide capital for Cameron Hughes Wine underneath its
traditional bank loan, something we expect to do with regularity in these
challenging financial markets," commented Peter Kaufman, Co-Founder and
Managing Partner of Bacchus Capital Management. "In today's roiled financial
markets and constrained credit environment, Bacchus can be uniquely helpful in
solving liquidity needs for wineries. Our flexible financing enables wineries
and wine businesses to maintain control of their equity and to access capital
beyond what can be accessed through the traditional bank-based asset formulas
tied to inventory and receivables. When coupled with the unparalleled
operational expertise and relationships in the wine industry that our team
offers to our portfolio companies, we think Bacchus has established a new
model in the industry," Kaufman added.
