Chardonnay Shortage at Mondavi Winery, The
Abstract
Mondavi Winery is facing a shortage of its Chardonnay wine. This shortage will disrupt its positioning in wine outlets and impact earnings. Allows students to discuss how to communicate such temporary--but financially important--shocks to the capital markets and Mondavi's other stakeholders. Mondavi's subsequent problems in meeting prior earnings forecasts also allow for a discussion of earnings guidance policies.
