Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 6, 2006 the Board of Directors of Willamette Valley Vineyards,
Inc. (the "Company") delivered the requisite 30-day notice to terminate a
master distribution agreement with Charmer Sunbelt Group, LLC ("Charmer
Sunbelt") and its network of twelve affiliated distributors. The termination
will be effective March 8, 2006. Under the agreement, the Company had agreed
to pay Charmer Sunbelt incentive compensation if certain sales goals were met
over a five year period. The incentive compensation was payable only in the
event of a transaction in excess of $12 million in value in which the Company
either sold all or substantially all of its assets or consummated a merger,
sale of stock or other similar transaction, the result of which was that the
Company's then current shareholders did not own at least a majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the surviving entity. The Company
terminated the agreement because the distributors did not reach these goals
in every year since the agreement's inception. In its termination letter,
the Company expressed its willingness to continue to do business with the
distributors on terms and conditions generally available to all of the
Company's distributors.
