                                     PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

    Scheid Vineyards Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SVI" or the "Company"), is a
leading independent (I.E., not winery controlled) producer of premium varietal
wine grapes. The Company currently operates approximately 6,000 acres of wine
grape vineyards. Of this total, approximately 4,400 acres are operated for the
Company's own account, and 1,600 acres are operated under management contracts
for others. All of the properties currently operated by the Company are located
in Monterey and San Benito Counties in California, both of which are generally
recognized as excellent regions for growing high quality wine grape varieties.

    The Company currently produces 18 varieties of premium wine grapes,
primarily Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon
Blanc. The Company believes that its customers contract with SVI to assure a
consistent, reliable source of high-quality premium grapes for their wines. The
Company's largest winery customer is United Distillers and Vintners North
America, a subsidiary of Diageo plc ("UDV"), the eighth largest U.S. winery in
terms of 2000 case shipments. Grape purchase contracts with UDV cover 55% of the
Company's acreage and accounted for approximately 73% and 76% of the Company's
2000 and 1999 total revenues, respectively. UDV's labels include BV COASTAL,
GLEN ELLEN, BEAULIEU VINEYARD AND BLOSSOM HILL.

    The Company also has long-term grape purchase contracts with Constellation
Brands, Inc.(formerly Canandaigua Brands, Inc.) ("Constellation"), the second
largest U.S. winery in terms of case shipments in 2000. Constellation's labels
include MYSTIC CLIFFS, FRANCISCAN OAKVILLE ESTATES, SIMI, ESTANCIA, VENDANGE,
TALUS, NATHANSON CREEK, PAUL MASSON, ALMADEN, DEER VALLEY AND DUNNEWOOD. In
addition, the Company also has long-term grape purchase agreements with other
well-known producers of ultra premium wines, including Beringer Wine Estates,
Chalone Wine Group, The Hess Collection Winery, David Bruce Winery and Morgan
Winery.

    The Company sells the majority of its wine grape production under long-term
grape purchase contracts. The terms of the Company's grape purchase contracts
extend to between 2001 and 2014, and generally have "evergreen" provisions
requiring two or three years' prior written notice of termination. These
contracts generally require the customers to purchase substantially all of the
Company's production from specified vineyards at a formula price based upon the
previous harvest year's sales

                                       3
<PAGE>
prices in California's leading coastal regions, including Napa, Sonoma,
Mendocino and Monterey Counties.

    The Company believes that selling its production through long-term contracts
allows it to attain reliable sources of revenues and profits not available
through sales on the yearly spot market or short-term contracts with wineries.
This, in turn, has allowed the Company to implement long-term programs to
redevelop and upgrade its older vineyards and develop new vineyard properties.
The Company's ongoing redevelopment and improvement program began in 1993 with
the aim of changing low priced, low demand varieties such as Chenin Blanc and
French Colombard to higher priced, high demand varieties such as Chardonnay,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In addition, the Company sought to increase the
quality of its wine grapes through innovative farming techniques. Because it
takes from five to six years for a vineyard to reach full production, the
Company anticipates increases in average yields until its redeveloped and newly
developed vineyards reach full maturity, subject to weather conditions and other
agricultural risks. See "--Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements-Agricultural Risks".

    The Company's executive offices are currently located at 13470 Washington
Blvd., Marina del Rey, California 90292, telephone number (310) 301-1555, and
its vineyard headquarters compound is located at 1972 Hobson Avenue, Greenfield,
California 93927. See "--Recent Developments-Relocation of Executive Offices."

    The Company's business is conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary,
Scheid Vineyards California Inc., a California corporation ("SVI-Cal").
References in this Report to "SVI-Del" refer only to Scheid Vineyards Inc., the
parent holding company. Unless otherwise required by the context, references in
this Report to "SVI" and the "Company" include SVI-Del and SVI-Cal on a
consolidated basis.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    2000 HARVEST.  For the year 2000, the Company harvested approximately 10,700
    tons of wine grapes, a 39% increase from the 1999 harvest of 7,700 tons.
    This increase is primarily due to more favorable growing conditions in 2000
    and approximately 15% more acres in partial or full production. The
    Company's white wine grape varieties, primarily Chardonnay, produced what
    the Company would consider "average" yields. Red wine grape varieties,
    primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, were impacted by severe heat waves
    in mid-May and early June and produced a below average crop. The prior
    year's harvest of 1999 was substantially below historical average yields due
    to a prolonged cold spell in the coastal growing regions of California.

    2001 GRAPE PRICES.  Based on the 2000 Final Grape Crush Report (from which
    the Company's 2001 grape prices are primarily determined), the Company
    anticipates receiving prices for the majority of its 2001 crop ranging from
    a slight decrease to a moderate increase from the prices received for the
    same varieties in 2000. See "The Company's Grape Production Operations-Grape
    Sales-Pricing."

    RELOCATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICES.  On March 29, 2001, the Company announced
    that it will be relocating its executive offices from Marina del Rey,
    California to 305 Hilltown Road, Salinas, California. The purpose of the
    relocation is to place the Company's executive office in greater proximity
    to the Company's vineyards. In conjunction with the relocation, certain of
    the Company's employees have been offered a relocation package, including
    monetary payments intended to reimburse such employees for the time and
    expenses associated with their move, and other employees who will not be
    relocating have been offered a severance package. The Company anticipates
    that the total one-time expense of relocating the executive offices,
    including relocation packages, severance packages, moving expenses and
    tenant improvements, will be between $500,000 and $600,000 and will be
    entirely incurred in 2001.

                                       4
<PAGE>
    STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM.  On July 21, 2000, the Company instituted a stock
    repurchase program in which the Company may spend up to $3 million in open
    market transactions to purchase outstanding shares of its Class A Common
    Stock at such times, in such amounts or blocks and at such prices as deemed
    appropriate. This repurchase program will expire on June 30, 2001, and
    replaces a previously existing repurchase program that was to expire on
    December 31, 2000. Through December 31, 2000, the Company had repurchased
    39,300 shares under this program for approximately $157,000. Under previous
    stock repurchase programs, the Company repurchased 116,708 shares in 2000
    for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $452,000. In previous
    years, the Company repurchased 1,014,850 shares for an aggregate purchase
    price of approximately $4,890,000. The repurchase plans were initiated due
    to management's belief that the Company's stock was undervalued in the
    market place. The Company continues to explore a variety of alternatives to
    enhance shareholder value.

COMPANY STRATEGY

    The Company's strategic objective is to become the leading independent
producer of premium varietal wine grapes in California. The Company believes
that its success to date has resulted from execution of a coherent strategy that
includes the following elements:

    PRODUCE HIGH VALUE PREMIUM WINE GRAPES.  The Company has consistently
    emphasized production of high value wine grapes that its customers can use
    to produce premium varietal wine. These varieties principally include
    Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in addition to other varieties
    that command premium prices. Throughout its history, SVI has consistently
    provided its customers with wine grapes that meet demanding specifications
    for quality, as measured by sugar content and other objective
    characteristics. The Company has initiated several new programs in a
    continuing effort to remain a top quality producer, including regulated
    deficit irrigation on appropriate varieties, upgrades to certain trellis
    systems to improve wind and light infiltration, and experimentation with
    various new fungicides, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. The Company
    believes it has developed an excellent reputation in the grape producing
    industry due to its emphasis on quality and performance. See "The Company's
    Grape Production Operations Grape Production."

    CONTINUE LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH LEADING WINE PRODUCERS.  The Company
    has had grape purchase contracts with UDV and its predecessors since 1972
    and with Constellation and its predecessors since 1979. More recently, SVI
    has been contracting for grape sales with additional wineries with
    reputations for producing excellent wines such as Beringer Wine Estates,
    Chalone Wine Group and The Hess Collection Winery. Substantially all of the
    Company's production is contracted at least through the harvest of 2001, and
    the majority is contracted at least through the harvest of 2006 with pricing
    arrangements the Company considers favorable. See "The Company's Grape
    Production Operations Grape Sales." The Company believes that its
    utilization of long-term contracts allows it to build long-term and mutually
    beneficial relationships with its customers and attain reliable sources of
    revenues not readily available to producers relying on the yearly spot
    market or short-term contracts with wineries.

    MAXIMIZE REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY PER ACRE.  The Company invests in new
    equipment and the development of new and improved viticultural practices in
    order to increase the productivity and efficiency of its vineyards. These
    practices include methods of interplanting grape vines to increase vine
    density, new trellising systems designed to support more grape production
    while maintaining quality, and other state-of-the-art vineyard practices
    that facilitate increased production and mechanization. Because increased
    yields per acre do not significantly increase fixed or variable costs of
    operating vineyards, productivity improvements contribute substantially to
    gross profits. Due to its continuing redevelopment and improvement program
    on approximately 2,500 acres since 1993, the Company believes that much of
    its acreage is now capable of producing significantly

                                       5
<PAGE>
    more higher value and better quality grapes. See "The Company's Grape
    Production Operations Viticultural Practices".

    DEVELOP HIGH QUALITY VINEYARD PROPERTIES.  The Company has a disciplined
    property development strategy in order to increase its productive capacity
    and leverage its available management and equipment resources. The Company's
    criteria for land and vineyard acquisitions emphasizes value concepts
    intended to maintain long-term rates of return within certain ranges,
    although no assurances can be given regarding the profitability of any
    vineyard development or acquisition. Currently, approximately 1,360, or
    one-third of the Company's net vine acres, are not yet in production or are
    only partially productive and it is expected that all or nearly all of these
    net vine acres will not be at or near full production until 2005. Although
    the Company believes that there may be opportunities to purchase or lease
    undeveloped land suitable for wine grape vineyards and acquire existing
    vineyards, at this time, SVI is not actively pursuing additional vineyard
    development projects. The Company is focusing its efforts on completing the
    1,360 acres of high quality vineyard which is not yet mature and contracting
    the resultant wine grape production to winery clients. See "--New Vineyards
    and Redevelopment of Existing Vineyards".

CALIFORNIA WINE AND GRAPE INDUSTRY

    The market for California premium varietal table wines has grown
significantly over the last 20 years. Since 1980, California premium wine
revenues have increased at an average 18% compound annual rate to approximately
$5.5 billion, or approximately 87% of total California table wine revenues of
approximately $6.3 billion in 2000, according to Gomberg, Fredrikson &
Associates. This growth was fueled by the high premium wine segment ($7 and over
per 750 ml. bottle), as consumers continued to shift upward in purchase
patterns. In 2000, high premiums represented 27% of California traditional table
wine volume and contributed approximately 59% of industry revenues. According to
ACNielsen/ Adams, the greatest absolute volume growth in food stores was in the
$7 to $10 per 750 ml. bottle price category, which grew by 1.3 million cases, up
22%. Brands at higher price points also grew rapidly. From a smaller base, wines
in the $10 to $14 per 750 ml. bottle category increased 23%, while wines in the
$14 and over segment climbed 18%. In contrast, wines in the fighting varietal
price range of $3 to $7 per 750 ml. bottle grew by only 3%. Exports of
California bottled wine have also grown significantly, increasing over 300% in
the last 10 years, from 4.8 million cases in 1990 to 19.3 million cases in 2000.

    For California wine grapes, the 2000 harvest produced a record crop.
Approximately 3.3 million tons of wine grapes were crushed in California, a 27%
increase from the 2.6 million tons crushed in 1999 and a 14% increase from the
previous record of 2.9 million tons in 1997. California wine grape growers
received prices in 2000 that were, on average, slightly below the 1999 prices.
The 2000 average price of all varieties was $570.80 per ton, down 3% from 1999.
For growers in California grape pricing district 7 (Monterey and San Benito
Counties), the average price decreased by 7%, from $1,347.88 per ton in 1999 to
$1,256.22 per ton in 2000. This decline was primarily due to the average price
of white wine grape varieties, which decreased by 10%. See "The Company's Grape
Production Operations-Grape Sales-Pricing."

    The record crop of 2000 has had a big impact on grape and bulk wine prices
for some varietals perceived to be in oversupply. The largest drop in prices
occurred in the Central Valley, an area which produces more than 70% of the
state's wine grapes and whose production is largely destined for the generic and
jug wine market. Prices for grapes in the coastal regions remain strong,
however, recent plantings of new vineyards, yield enhancements through
technological advances and other factors are expected to further increase the
supply of coastal wine grapes in future harvests and reduce prices.

THE COMPANY'S GRAPE PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

    VINEYARD OPERATIONS

    SVI currently owns or manages approximately 6,000 acres of wine grape
vineyards in Monterey and San Benito Counties. These properties consist of
approximately 4,400 acres in Monterey County operated for the Company's own
account and approximately 1,600 acres operated under management contracts for
others. Of the Company's approximately 4,080 net vine acres of wine grapes,
approximately 67% are in full production, 24% are in partial production, and 9%
are non-producing. The Company sells the majority of its wine grape production
under long-term grape purchase contracts. Approximately 75% of the Company's
total acres and 96% of the Company's fully-producing acres are currently
contracted for sale to winery clients. Approximately 70% of the Company's total
acres are contracted through at least the harvest of 2003, and approximately 52%
are contracted through at least the harvest of 2006.

    GRAPE PRODUCTION

    SVI's acreage of higher value varieties (E.G., Chardonnay, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc) has increased in recent years
due to changes in product mix through grafting and replanting of the Company's
original vineyards, the acquisition of a vineyard, and the development of new
vineyards. In addition, yield potential has been increased through interplanting
which increases vine density and improvements in wine grape production
technology and know-how. See "Viticultural Practices." In 1993, the Company
began a major improvement and refurbishment program and took many acres out of
production temporarily in order to graft the original vines or replant new
rootstock. This planned decline in grape production caused grape sales revenues
for 1993 and 1994 to be lower than they otherwise would have been and resulted
in a significant decline in tonnage produced through 1996. In 1996, as replanted
acreage started to mature, production of high value premium varieties increased.
In addition, the Company acquired a 370-acre vineyard in June 1997 and developed
into new vineyards approximately 54 acres in 1996, 316 acres in 1997, 322 acres
in 1998 and 740 acres in 1999.

    The Company believes that its potential production of high value wine grapes
in these vineyards will increase for the next few years as replanted,
interplanted and newly planted vines continue to mature. However, while
potential production may increase, actual grape production varies according to
the variety of grape produced, weather, vine density, the quality and type of
soil, water conditions, and other factors, and no assurances can be given that
such production increases will occur with any

                                       7
<PAGE>
predictability or at all. The following table shows SVI's net vine acres by
variety from 1996 to 2001, total tons produced from 1996 to 2000, and tons

(1) Included 28 acres leased to Joseph Phelps Vineyards through December 31,
    1998 and operated by the Company for the account of Joseph Phelps Vineyards.

(2) Replants/grafts are acres which are temporarily taken out of production due
    to grafting or replanting to change varieties. Acres are deemed to be back
    in production in the third crop year.

(3) New acreage represents newly acquired bare ground which is in the
    development stage. The development stage is the first three years of the
    vineyard's life, when the Company expects little or no production.

    GRAPE SALES

    PRIMARY CUSTOMERS.  The wine grape tonnage harvested from the Company's
approximately 3,130 net vine acres in production in 2000 (I.E., excluding
vineyards under development or redevelopment) is largely subject to grape
purchase contracts with a small number of well-known wine producing companies.
The largest set of these contracts, representing approximately 80% of the
Company's 2000 grape sales revenues and 73% of the Company's 2000 total
revenues, is with UDV. UDV is a unit of Diageo plc, one of the world's largest
wine and spirits sales companies, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom.
In 2000, UDV was California's eighth largest wine producing company with
shipments of approximately 5.2 million cases of wine. The Company's contractual
relationship with UDV's predecessor began in 1972 and has been continuous since
that time. The Company believes that it is currently the largest supplier of
wine grapes to UDV. The Company has sales contracts for substantially all of the
balance of its current wine grape production with other wine producers,
including Constellation, Beringer Wine Estates, Chalone Wine Group and The Hess
Collection Winery. The Company also manages, as a contract vineyard operator, an
aggregate of approximately 1,600 acres of wine grapes for UDV and Constellation.
See "Vineyard Management Contracts."

    The terms of the Company's grape purchase contracts generally require the
customers to purchase substantially all of the Company's production from
specified vineyards at a formula price based upon the previous harvest year's
sales prices for specified districts as reported in the Final Grape Crush

                                       8
<PAGE>
Report published by the California Department of Food and Agriculture ("CDFA").
See "Pricing." The contracts generally require the Company to deliver grapes
meeting specified sugar levels and other quality measurements. Substantially all
of the contracts call for payment in full within 30 days of delivery of the crop
to the customer.

    The terms of the Company's long-term grape purchase contracts extend to
between 2001 and 2014. Contracts covering the majority of SVI's acreage extend
to 2006 and have "evergreen" renewal provisions whereby the contracts continue
until either party gives a two or three years' prior written notice of
termination. The Company believes that these evergreen provisions allow it time
either to renegotiate the contract with its contracting customer or to find a
new customer for the grape production before the contract terminates. See
"--Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements--Dependence on
Major Customers; Renewal of Grape Purchase Agreements."

    The Company has enjoyed excellent relationships with its customers that have
been built over many years of satisfying their needs for quality, timely
delivery and service. Long-term supply arrangements benefit customers by
providing a significant, reliable supply of high-quality grapes at predictable
prices, and the Company believes that in many respects UDV and Constellation
prefer their supply arrangements with the Company to the purchase of comparable
amounts of grapes on the open market from multiple producers. These contracts
also benefit the Company by providing reliable sources of revenues. SVI believes
that these contracts are one of the major reasons for its past success, and it
plans to rely upon these and similar contracts in the future. While contract
terms are typically a function of market factors and it is not possible to know
what the terms of the Company's future grape purchase arrangements will be, it
is probable that any renewal or replacement of the Company's UDV and
Constellation contracts, the majority of which will expire in 2006, and any
purchase agreements covering new vineyards will have different terms. Among
other potential contract terms, the Company intends to consider entering into
long-term grape purchase contracts with generally fixed maximum and minimum
prices per acre instead of prices per ton that are subject to annual variation.
It is anticipated that such acreage contracts would provide for the customer to
bear more of the crop risk than is typically borne by the Company under a
tonnage contract.

    PRICING.  Each year the CDFA publishes the Grape Crush Report on a
preliminary basis on or around February 10, with a final report published on or
around March 10. The Grape Crush Report discloses the prices, tons and certain
quality standards of all grapes crushed for wine from each of California's 17
wine grape producing districts in the grape harvest of the previous autumn. The
report is relied upon heavily by wineries and wine grape producers to negotiate
contracts and establish grape prices, as well as by financial and other
institutions who serve the wine industry.

    SVI's contract grape prices are established each year by formulas which are
different for each of its customers. However, substantially all of its contracts
utilize a formula which is used to calculate a price for each wine grape variety
based on the previous year's prices in several specified CDFA reporting
districts. For example, grapes from the Company's 2001 harvest that are subject
to these contracts will be sold at prices based on the actual prices for the
2000 harvest reported in the Final Grape Crush Report published March 9, 2001.
This enables both the Company and its customers to know final grape prices (on a
per ton basis by variety) approximately eight months in advance of each year's
harvest. These multiple district formula prices, as opposed to sales on the
short-term spot market, tend to moderate year-to-year swings in prices. The
Company's grape purchase contracts typically utilize pricing based in part upon
prices for Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino County grapes, which tend to be higher
than prices for the same varieties produced in Monterey County. Some recent
agreements use pricing formulas that are based more heavily on Monterey County
data, which may also be the case for the renewal or replacement of the UDV and
Constellation agreements and additional agreements covering new or replanted
vineyards.

    The chart below shows the weighted average prices SVI has received, or
expects to receive, per ton of grapes for the primary varieties it has produced
since 1996 based on the pricing formulas of its

                                       9
<PAGE>
various tonnage-based grape purchase contracts. Tonnage-based grape purchase
contracts cover approximately 72% of the Company's currently producing acreage.

(1) Prices for premium varieties have increased in recent years largely as a
    result of supply and demand conditions. Supply and demand factors will
    change over time and there can be no assurance that the prices received by
    the Company in the future will match or exceed historical prices.

(2) Price estimates for 2001 are based upon existing contracts, Company
    production and sales estimates for contracted acres, and the 2000 Final
    Grape Crush Report released March 9, 2001. These weighted average prices per
    ton do not include estimated production and sales of uncontracted vineyard
    acres. The Company anticipates that prices for grapes produced from
    uncontracted acres will be lower than those from its contracted acres.

    VITICULTURAL PRACTICES

    The Company continually investigates and experiments to develop enhanced
viticultural practices in order to improve the quality of grapes it produces and
the yields of its vineyards. Innovations developed or employed by SVI over the
past ten years have included new grafting methods, interplanting, new trellis
designs and improved machine harvesting technology and practices. The Company
also employs reduced deficit irrigation on appropriate varieties and has
experimented with various new fungicide, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.

    VINEYARD PRODUCTION CYCLE

    The vineyard production cycle begins each year in December, after completion
of harvest. From December through March vines are pruned and tied to trellises,
and damaged stakes, trellises, irrigation systems and other vineyard components
are repaired or refurbished. After winter rains end, irrigation and cultivation
of the vineyards begin and continue through the harvest season. Herbicides are
applied as needed through the summer. Necessary applications of pesticides and
fertilizer begin in the spring and continue until harvest. Grafting and planting
also generally take place in the first four or five months of the year. As
growth of the vines accelerates beginning in late spring, they are trained and
tied, and excess leaves are sometimes pulled to promote more efficient growth of
vines and fruit. Depending on the rate at which fruit ripens, harvest typically
begins in late-August to mid-September and is completed by the end of October or
early November. Direct farming costs currently range from $2,300 to $3,000 per
acre over the course of the year for vineyards in full production, and revenues
are realized at the time of harvest. Approximately one-half of annual production
costs are incurred by June 30.

    CAPITAL INVESTMENT REQUIREMENT FOR ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT
     OF VINEYARDS

    Because of the increasing demand for premium wine, the Company's customers
as well as other wineries have been seeking additional long-term sources of
premium wine grapes. Accordingly, part of the Company's strategy has been to
expand its operations and grape production through the development of bare land
into vineyards, the acquisition of existing vineyards, and the redevelopment of
the Company's older vineyards. As discussed below, the Company has implemented
this strategy through the lease in 1998 of approximately 740 acres of bare land
located near the Company's vineyard headquarters and currently being developed
into vineyards, the 1997 acquisition of the 370-acre Riverview Vineyard, the
lease in 1997 of approximately 520 acres of bare land in Hames Valley it has
developed into vineyards and the redevelopment of the Company's existing
vineyards begun in 1993.

    Generally, significant amounts of fruit are not produced for three years
from newly planted vines and for two years from vines which are grafted to a new
variety. During this time, the Company incurs significant development and
production costs that are not offset by revenues from these vineyards and must
be financed from other sources. Newly planted vines that are four to five years
of age and grafted vines that are three to four years of age generally begin to
produce grapes in sufficient quantities to cover production costs and contribute
to gross profit, subject to some variation due to the effects of factors such as
weather conditions, geographic location, variety of grape grown, vine density,
quality and type of soil, and water quality.

    It has been the Company's experience that it currently costs approximately
$15,000 to $18,000 per acre over a three-year period to develop open land into a
producing premium wine grape vineyard, before taking into account the cost of
land. The costs of redeveloping existing vineyards vary depending upon the
condition of the vineyard and the scope of the redevelopment plan.

    Due to the acquisition and development of new vineyards and the
redevelopment of existing vineyards, much of the Company's vineyard acreage has
not yet reached full productive capacity. While there can be no assurance that
the Company's properties will achieve their full productive capacity at the rate
indicated, if at all, the Company believes that its existing acreage under
development or redevelopment represents significant potential for revenue
growth. The following table shows recent and anticipated maturity of the
Company's vineyards.

(1) The net vine acreage shown above is SVI's planted acreage only. It does not
    include acreage devoted to roads, storage areas, equipment yards or uses
    other than vineyards.

    If the Company's vineyards under development mature consistently with
historical experience and no significant problems are encountered, they should
be at or near their full productive capacity in or about 2005. Therefore,
acquisitions of producing vineyards will be required prior to 2005 to achieve
production increases in excess of those anticipated from the Company's existing
vineyards. In addition, acquisitions of producing vineyards or open land
suitable for vineyard development will be required to sustain productivity
increases after 2005 and moderate any productivity losses from the Company's
existing vineyards due to grafting to new varieties and various other factors
that take vineyards out of production from time to time. See "--Uncertainty of

    NEW VINEYARDS AND REDEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING VINEYARDS

    GREENFIELD.  In December 1998, the Company entered into a lease for an
intial term of 24 years of approximately 790 gross acres (740 plantable acres)
of undeveloped land suitable for wine grape vineyards located near the Company's
vineyard headquarters. The Company has two options to extend the term of the
lease for successive five-year terms (for a total of ten years). The Company
completed the planting of rootstock on the entire 740 plantable acres in
May 1999. A total of approximately 540 acres of the rootstock was either planted
with bench grafts or was grafted to a varietal in 1999, with the first harvest
of these acres expected in 2001. The remaining approximately 200 acres of
rootstock will be grafted in 2002. The Company intends to seek long-term grape
purchase contracts for the grape production from this new vineyard.

    HAMES VALLEY.  In 1997, the Company acquired an option to lease, for a term
of up to 50 years, approximately 520 acres of undeveloped land suitable for wine
grape vineyards in Hames Valley, which is located approximately 45 miles south
of the Company's vineyard headquarters. The Company began development on
approximately 200 acres in 1997 and the remaining 320 acres in the first quarter
of 1998. The Company has entered into a long-term grape purchase contract with
UDV for approximately 325 acres, and is currently in the process of seeking
long-term grape purchase contracts for the grape production from the remaining
acres on this vineyard. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company
will be successful in finding a winery or wineries which will agree to such
long-term grape purchase contracts for newly developed vineyards, including
those which have recently been developed in Greenfield and Hames Valley.

    After negotiating its own Hames Valley lease, SVI arranged for Constellation
to lease an additional approximately 445 acres in Hames Valley. Pursuant to a
long-term management contract with Constellation, in 1997 SVI began to manage
and develop this acreage into vineyards. Under the contract, SVI receives
monthly fees, equipment rental income and, when the vineyard begins to produce
wine grapes, harvest fees. The Company has no investment in the vineyard because
development money and working capital are provided by Constellation.

    RIVERVIEW VINEYARD.  In 1997, the Company acquired the 370-acre Riverview
Vineyard located approximately 12 miles north of SVI's vineyard headquarters.
The purchase price was approximately $5.5 million. The vineyard is planted with
several varieties, including approximately 140 acres of Chardonnay and 160 acres
of Pinot Noir. In 1998, the Company secured long-term grape purchase contracts
for the majority of the grape production from this vineyard.

    REDEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING VINEYARDS.  In 1993, SVI began a major improvement
and refurbishment program at its vineyards in order to increase production and
to upgrade its variety mix to those grapes that were expected to be in greater
demand and sell at higher prices. From 1993 through 2000, the Company made
capital expenditures on its vineyards of over $18 million, and the improvement
and refurbishment program is continuing. Since 1993, the Company replanted or
regrafted approximately 1,330 acres to higher value varieties and interplanted
an additional 1,200 acres. See "--Net Vine Acres Owned by SVI and Tons
Produced."

    WATER SUPPLY

    The Company's vineyards are located in the Salinas Valley through which
flows the Salinas River. The watershed of the Salinas Valley is from the Ventana
Wilderness in the Los Padres National Forest and Santa Lucia range of coastal
mountains. The Salinas River supplies a large aquifer which is tapped by
agricultural users. In addition, the Salinas River is fed by two large
reservoirs, Lake Nacimiento and Lake San Antonio, which were built primarily for
agricultural water supply purposes to serve the

                                       12
<PAGE>
Salinas Valley. These reservoirs are maintained by the Monterey County Water
Resource Agency. The Company drip irrigates all of its vineyards from wells
located on or near its vineyards. The quality of the water obtained from the
wells is good, and the wells have proven to be a plentiful and reliable source
of water for the Company's operations, even during the drought years of the late
1980's. See "--Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements--Water."

VINEYARD MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

    The Company manages, as a contract vineyard operator, approximately 1,600
acres in Monterey and San Benito Counties for UDV and Constellation. Pursuant to
its management and harvest contracts, budgeted costs of labor and equipment are
advanced to the Company on a monthly basis and the Company receives management
fees based on the acreage managed and harvested. The Company's vineyard
management contracts generally expire no earlier than the completion of harvest
in years ranging from 2004 to 2012, and otherwise may be terminated by either
party with one or two years' advance notice. In certain cases the Company has
also received fees for financing vineyard improvements, securing property and
designing vineyards. The Company may enter into similar arrangements for other
vineyard properties in the future.

WINE PRODUCTION AND SALES

    SVI began limited production of its own ultra premium varietal wines under
the SCHEID VINEYARDS and SAN LUCAS VINEYARD labels in 1991. The Company has
contracted for its wine production with Storrs Winery, a small producer of
award-winning wines located in Santa Cruz, California, approximately 50 miles
from the Company's vineyard headquarters compound. The Company currently
subleases space in a 1,600 square foot building from Storrs Winery, including
certain space dedicated for the Company's exclusive use in connection with its
winemaking activities. In 1996, the Company obtained a winery license, and a
tasting room was opened in April 1997 at the Company's vineyard headquarters
compound located on U.S. Highway 101 (a major north-south thoroughfare between
San Francisco and Los Angeles) just south of Greenfield and north of King City
in Monterey County.

    Production and sales have been limited to date. SVI produced approximately
5,000 and 1,000 cases in 1999 and 2000, respectively, of ultra premium varietal
wines, including Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and
Sauvignon Blanc, using Company-grown grapes. While its actual wine production
will depend on various factors, the Company currently plans for production in
2001 of approximately 5,000 cases. The Company intends to continue to distribute
its current wine production directly through its tasting room, restaurants,
clubs and a few selected retailers. Since 1997, the Company has offered an
annual "wine dividend" to holders of at least 100 shares of its Class A Common
Stock, whereby such shareholders were entitled to a $0.50 per share credit for
use in making purchases of the Company's wine at up to a 50% discount from the
retail price. The Company intends to offer another "wine dividend" in 2001. SVI
has not yet earned a profit on its wine business and cannot predict when, or if,
these operations will become profitable. Further, SVI does not expect its wine
business to have a material impact on sales or earnings in the foreseeable
future. No assurances can be given that wine production and sales ever will be a
major source of profit for the Company.

COMPETITION

    Wine grape growing and wine production are extremely competitive. There are
an estimated 800 commercial wineries which produce and market California table
wine, approximately half of which produce fewer than 5,000 cases per year. The
top eight wineries account for approximately 76% of sales based on total
California wine shipments in 2000. In addition, there are many sources of supply
of wine grapes in California and in countries outside the United States. Since
1996, acres planted to wine grapes in California have increased 46% from
approximately 378,000 acres at the end of 1996 to 554,000 at the end of 1999,
according to the California Agricultural Statistics Service, and the number of
planted acres is growing. Most wine grape producers have small, privately owned
operations and sell

                                       13
<PAGE>
their production to wineries, often at spot market prices from year to year.
Quality of production and yields can vary widely from vineyard to vineyard in
the same geographic area. To supplement the grapes they buy from independent
producers, many wineries also own or lease vineyards to supply some of their
grape needs. Certain major wineries, such as Kendall-Jackson and Robert Mondavi,
are large wine grape producers and produce a significant proportion of the
grapes they need to make wine. Substantial vineyard acreage is also owned by
other wineries and more is being developed. Although holdings of vineyard
properties are not publicly reported, the Company believes it is one of the
largest independent producers of premium wine grapes in California, and that
there are approximately four or five independent producers of comparable size in
terms of acreage.

    In addition, there are numerous wine producers in Europe, South America,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Increasing production in these regions
is being targeted at the relatively affluent United States market, especially
while the dollar remains strong. California grape and wine supply shortages,
especially in red wines, have prompted some domestic national brand marketers to
purchase wine from foreign sources. Most imports are bottled wines; however,
some wineries have imported bulk table wine in large tanks for bottling and sale
in the United States. Imports to California for these purposes decreased from
approximately 20.3 million gallons in 1997 to approximately 1.9 million gallons
in 2000.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

    SVI currently maintains 23 above-ground fuel storage tanks on its own
vineyard properties to provide fuel to its various vehicles and machinery. These
tanks have capacities ranging from approximately 500 to 10,000 gallons and are
installed on concrete slabs with catch basins to protect the ground surface from
any inadvertent release. No underground storage tanks are located on the
Company's properties.

    The Company's current operations require the periodic usage of various
chemical herbicides, fungicides and pesticides, some of which contain hazardous
or toxic substances. The usage and storage of these chemicals are, to varying
degrees, subject to federal and state regulation. To the extent that the Company
stores such chemicals, they are contained in a secured storage facility at the
Company's vineyard headquarters compound. The most toxic pesticide used by the
Company, Furadan-TM-, is not stored on-site, but is delivered as needed by an
unaffiliated company and applied to the vineyard under the supervision of a
state-licensed applicator. The Company also maintains a comprehensive safety
program supervised by the Company's human resources safety director and a
licensed pest control advisor.

TRADEMARKS AND LABELS

    The Company has registered a trademark relating to a specific slogan which
the Company uses on souvenirs and paraphernalia sold at the Company's
wine-tasting room. The Company also has wine labels approved by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF"), including the SCHEID VINEYARDS and SAN
LUCAS VINEYARD brand names.

EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS

    The Company has approximately 75 full-time employees and employs seasonal
and contract labor for vineyard development, pruning, harvesting and other
related tasks during peak seasons. Field labor needs are seasonal, normally
peaking at approximately 400 field workers at harvest, and dropping to a low of
approximately 50 immediately after harvest. The Company also uses contracted
labor for specialized work, such as grafting, and otherwise when necessary.

    The United Farm Workers, AFL-CIO ("UFW") has represented the Company's farm
workers since 1993. In 1998, the Company completed the negotiation of a new
four-year contract with the UFW that will expire at the end of 2001. The Company
believes its labor relations are satisfactory. The

                                       14
<PAGE>
Company has never had a walk-out, sit-down, slow-down or strike, and the
existing contract has a "no strike" clause. The Company has, however, been
picketed, particularly during the organizing effort by the UFW and during
negotiation of the first contract in 1995. See "Cautionary Information Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements--Labor Regulations and Union Contract."

CAUTIONARY INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    AGRICULTURAL RISKS

    Wine grape production is subject to many risks common to agriculture that
can materially and adversely affect the quality and quantity of grapes produced.
These hazards include, among other things, adverse weather such as drought,
frost, excessive rain, excessive heat or prolonged periods of cold weather.
These weather conditions can materially and adversely affect the quality and
quantity of grapes produced by the Company and its profitability. To the extent
a grape producer's properties are geographically concentrated, the effects of
local weather can be material. The vineyards owned by SVI are spread over a
distance of approximately 70 miles, north to south, close to Highway 101 in
Monterey County. Accordingly, adverse weather in the future could affect a
substantial portion of the Company's vineyards in any year and have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

    Vineyards are also susceptible to certain diseases, insects and pests, which
can increase operating expenses, reduce yields or kill vines. In recent years
phylloxera, a louse that feeds on the roots of grape vines, has infested many
vineyards in the wine grape producing regions of California and caused grape
yields to decrease. Within a few years of the initial infestation, phylloxera
can leave a vine entirely unproductive. Phylloxera infestation has been
widespread in California, particularly in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Monterey
Counties, and most of the other wine grape producing areas of the state are
affected to some degree. Phylloxera infestation can be reduced through use of
the chemical pesticides Furadan-TM- and Enzone-TM-. While Furadan-TM- is still
approved for use in Monterey County, its use is no longer legal in certain other
viticultural regions of California, including Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino
Counties. Furadan-TM- is currently under investigation by the Environmental
Protection Agency which may result in the prohibition of its use. There can be
no assurance that Furadan-TM- will continue to be available as a method of
controlling phylloxera for the Company and, if its use is prohibited in Monterey
County, the Company will rely more on the use of Enzone-TM-. If the use of
Enzone-TM- is prohibited in Monterey County, however, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to find a safe, cost-effective alternative.

    As a result of this widespread problem, thousands of vineyard acres
throughout California have been replanted with phylloxera-resistant rootstock
or, in some cases, taken out of production completely. It takes approximately
four to five years for a replanted vineyard to bear grapes in quantities
sufficient for profitable operations. The Company estimates that it currently
costs approximately $15,000 to $18,000 per acre to replant vineyards. Of the
Company's approximately 4,080 net vine acres (I.E., excluding acreage devoted to
roads, storage areas, equipment yards or uses other than vineyards) of wine
grapes, approximately 3,940 net vine acres, or 97%, are planted or interplanted
with phylloxera-resistant rootstock. The remaining approximately 140 acres are
planted on non-resistant rootstock and are, therefore, potentially susceptible
to phylloxera infestation. The Company is managing the non-resistant acres
through application of Furadan-TM- and a program of selective replantings.

    Another potentially devastating pest is the glassy-winged sharpshooter
("GWSS"). GWSS poses a significant threat to viticulture throughout California
due to its ability to transmit XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA, the bacterium that causes
Pierce's Disease. Pierce's Disease, a deadly vine disorder, has been present in
California for more than a century, vectored by the blue-green sharpshooter. It
now presents a much more significant threat because the GWSS is a new and far
stronger disease carrier than the blue-green sharpshooter. The GWSS recently
became established in the Temecula region of southern California

                                       15
<PAGE>
and, as a result, Pierce's Disease is so widespread that the future viability of
the Temecula region to produce wine grapes is in doubt. In the past year, the
list of counties infested with the GWSS increased from eight in southern
California to thirteen statewide, with localized infestations found in Fresno
and Tulare counties in the Central Valley and Sacramento, Contra Costa and Butte
counties in the north. Thus far, no trace of sharpshooters has been reported in
Monterey County and the Company has seen no evidence of the GWSS or Pierce's
Disease in its own vineyards. The wine industry, along with scientists and
certain governmental agencies in California, are searching for ways to control
and combat the pest, including a comprehensive system of inspections and
monitoring, pesticide spraying and numerous research projects.

    Other pests that may infest vineyards include leafhoppers, thrips,
nematodes, mites, insects, orange tortrix, twigbore, microflora and various
grapevine diseases. Pesticides and the selection of resistant rootstocks reduce
losses from these pests, but do not eliminate the risk of such loss. Gophers,
rabbits, deer, wild hogs and birds can also pose a problem for vineyards, and
wine grape vines are also susceptible to certain virus infections which may
cause reduction of yields. None of these currently poses a major threat to the
Company's vineyards, although they could do so in the future and, at that time,
will have the potential to subject the vineyards to severe damage.

    DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMER; RENEWAL OF GRAPE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

    The majority of SVI's current grape production is contracted for sale to UDV
which accounted for approximately 73% of the Company's total revenues in 2000.
The terms of the long-term grape purchase contracts with UDV extend to between
2003 and 2014. The majority of the contracts extend to 2006 and have an
"evergreen" renewal provision whereby the contract continues unless either party
gives a three-year advance written notice of termination. Although these
contracts do not specifically provide for termination prior to expiration of
their stated terms, it is possible that they could be terminated under various
circumstances, including material breach. If these contracts are terminated,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to replace UDV with as
significant a purchaser of its grape production or that the Company will be able
to enter into agreements with other purchasers on similar terms. Termination of
these contracts with UDV could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

    WINE GRAPE SUPPLY AND DEMAND; PRICING

    A record 3.3 million tons of wine grapes were crushed in 2000 in California,
a 27% increase from the 2.6 million tons crushed in 1999 and a 14% increase from
the previous record of 2.9 million tons in 1997. Statewide, the average price
per ton decreased by 3%, from $589.82 per ton in 1999 to $570.80 per ton in
2000. The record crop of 2000 has had a big impact on grape and bulk wine prices
for some varietals perceived to be in oversupply. The largest drop in prices
occurred in the Central Valley, an area which produces more than 70% of the
state's wine grapes and whose production is largely destined for the generic and
jug wine market. Prices for grapes in the coastal regions remain strong,
however, recent plantings of new vineyards, yield enhancements through
technological advances and other factors are expected to further increase the
supply of coastal wine grapes in future harvests and reduce prices.

    UNCERTAINTY OF REVENUE GROWTH

    In 2001, approximately 67% of the Company's net vine acres are at or near
full production, and it is anticipated that a certain portion of the Company's
vineyards will always be out of production or below maximum production due to
initial development, replanting, regrafting and various other factors. While
some productivity increases may be expected from further development of vineyard
acreage not yet in full production or from enhancements of fully productive
vineyards, the growth potential of the Company's existing properties is limited
and the Company's ability to increase revenue depends ultimately upon its
ability to acquire, develop and operate more vineyard properties. There can be
no

                                       16
<PAGE>
assurance that suitable properties will be available to the Company at prices
that would make the Company's growth plans viable. Revenues are also
substantially dependent on grape yields and prices, both of which are subject to
variation as discussed elsewhere in this section and can have an effect on
revenue growth unrelated to the number of acres in full production.

    FIXED COSTS AND REVENUE FLUCTUATIONS; UNCERTAINTY OF PROFITABILITY

    The Company incurs annual farming costs currently averaging approximately
$2,300 to $3,000 per acre in production. These costs are incurred throughout the
year preceding harvest and are relatively fixed. Revenues from grape sales are
not realized until harvest and vary depending upon yields and prices. Vineyard
productivity varies from year to year depending upon a number of factors, and
significant variations in annual yields should be expected from time to time.
Furthermore, grape prices have fluctuated significantly in the past and should
be expected to continue to fluctuate from year to year and to decrease at times
in the future. Because production costs are not significantly adjustable in
light of productivity or revenue levels, weak harvests or lower grape prices
cannot be mitigated by cost reductions and should be expected to have
significant adverse effects upon profitability.

    CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    The farming of vineyards in production requires substantial amounts of
working capital. Historically, the Company has relied heavily on short-term
credit to finance its working capital requirements. Working capital requirements
are expected to increase to support the expansion anticipated by the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing when
required or that such financing will be available on reasonable terms, and lack
of access to adequate lines of credit or other capital sources could impair the
Company's ability to grow and adversely affect the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

    Substantial capital expenditures are required to develop and acquire new
vineyards and improve existing vineyards. The Company has made and intends to
continue to make such expenditures to finance its expansion, and has incurred
and plans to continue to incur indebtedness. As a consequence, (i) the Company
has and will continue to have significant interest and principal repayment
obligations, (ii) the Company's earnings and cash flows will be adversely
affected by increases in interest rates, and (iii) the presence of this debt
will limit the Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock.

    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS EXPANSION AND ACQUISITION STRATEGY; LONG-TERM
     STRATEGIES

    As part of its long-term strategy, SVI continually evaluates expanding its
business through (i) the purchase or lease of undeveloped land suitable for wine
grape vineyards and (ii) acquisitions of developed vineyard properties. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to locate suitable properties
to buy or lease at viable prices, and any undeveloped properties acquired by the
Company will require significant capital investment and several years of
development before becoming productive. The Company does not expect to receive
the full benefit from any newly planted vineyards for at least five to six years
after planting due to the time required for the vines to mature and produce
economic yields. In addition, the Company's ability to increase profits through
acquisitions depends to a significant degree upon the prices at which properties
can be purchased or leased. Furthermore, increased acreage under management will
create additional demands on Company management and may require the Company to
hire and integrate more employees. Accordingly, the Company's strategies are
long-term strategies designed to increase the Company's production capacity and
expand the Company's business. As a result, the full economic impact in terms of
projected earnings and other beneficial effects of the Company's expansion
program will not be fully realized for several years, if at all. The Company has
also recently pursued a strategy of repurchasing its own shares of common stock.
To the extent the Company continues its repurchase program, the capital
available to expand the business through additional vineyard development and
acquisitions is reduced.

                                       17
<PAGE>
    COMPETITION; INDUSTRY FRAGMENTATION

    The wine grape industry is extremely competitive. Many of the Company's
current and prospective competitors have substantially greater financial,
production, personnel and other resources than the Company. The Company competes
with many other producers of premium wine grapes in California, including a few
thousand small independent (I.E., not winery controlled) wine grape producers
who sell their production to wineries. Moreover, to a significant extent, wine
grapes of a particular variety are fungible, and the ability of foreign
producers to compete with the Company on the basis of price due to their lower
production costs may have a negative impact upon the Company's profitability. In
addition, the Company's principal winery customers compete with each other and
with other wineries located in the United States and abroad.

    POSSIBLE TERMINATION OF VINEYARD MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

    Substantially all of the Company's vineyard management agreements may be
terminated in the event that Alfred G. Scheid, Kurt J. Gollnick and certain
members of their families cease to maintain specified shareholdings in the
Company. Sales to the public by members of the Scheid or Gollnick families or
further public offerings by the Company may result in a change of control of the
Company, which could result in termination of these agreements.

    LABOR REGULATIONS AND UNION CONTRACT

    California has many laws and regulations concerning labor in general and
farm labor in particular. The Agricultural Labor Relations Board has promulgated
many regulations concerning farm labor and a body of court decisions has
developed. SVI is subject to many of these regulations, laws and precedents.

    The UFW is the major union representing farm labor and has represented SVI's
farm workers since 1993. In 1998, the Company completed the negotiation of a new
four-year contract with the UFW that will expire at the end of 2001. Although
the Company historically has had satisfactory labor relations, it has been
picketed from time to time during the initial organization of its employees and
during contract negotiations. No assurance can be given that the Company's
satisfactory labor relations will continue or that the UFW will not engage in,
picketing, walk-outs, sit-downs, slow-downs or strikes or the threat of these
actions. The Company's business is heavily dependent upon farm labor, and the
failure of the Company to maintain adequate labor relations on terms acceptable
to the Company could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

    DEPENDENCE ON CONSUMER DEMAND

    Trends in consumer spending and changes in consumer tastes have a
substantial impact on the wine industry and the Company's business. To the
extent that wine purchases are negatively impacted by economic and other
factors, or wine consumers reduce consumption of wine in favor of other
beverages, demand for wine grapes could decrease.

    GOVERNMENT REGULATION; TAXES

    SVI is subject to a broad range of federal and state regulatory requirements
regarding its operations and practices. The Company's current operations and
future expansion are subject to regulations governing the storage and use of
fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, pesticides, fuels, solvents and other
chemicals. These regulations are subject to change and conceivably could have a
significant impact on operating practices, chemical usage, and other aspects of
the Company's business.

    Wine production and sales are subject to extensive regulation by the Federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the California Department of Alcohol
Beverage Control and other state and

                                       18
<PAGE>
federal governmental authorities that regulate licensing, trade and pricing
practices, labeling, advertising and other activities. In recent years, federal
and state authorities have required warning labels on beverages containing
alcohol. Restrictions imposed by government authorities on the sale of wine
could increase the retail price of wine, which could have an adverse effect on
demand for wine in general. Increases in excise taxes on wine, if enacted, could
reduce demand for wine and wine grapes, which could materially and adversely
effect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

    RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

    The Company believes its continued success depends to a significant extent
on the active involvement of certain members of the Scheid family and the
retention of its senior non-family executives. There can be no assurance that
the key persons will remain in their management positions with the Company, and
the loss of the services of any of the key persons could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

    ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

    Ownership of real property creates a potential for environmental liability
on the part of the Company. If hazardous substances are discovered on or
emanating from any of the Company's vineyards and the release of hazardous
substances (including fuels and chemicals kept by the Company on its properties
for use in its business) presents a threat of harm to public health or the
environment, the Company may be held strictly liable for the cost of remediation
of these hazardous substances. See "--Enviromental Issues."

    WATER

    The Company is dependent upon wells located on or near its vineyards for
water to irrigate the vineyards, which wells are supplied by aquifers fed by the
Salinas River and reservoirs operated by Monterey County. Although historically
the quality of water from these wells has been good and the wells have
consistently supplied a plentiful and reliable source of water, even during the
drought years of the late 1980's, and the Company believes its sources of water
will be available for the foreseeable future, it is possible that the Company's
water supplies could be impaired in the future due to drought, contamination or
other circumstances. An impairment in the Company's water supplies could
adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of
the Company.

    ELECTRICITY

    The Company is dependent upon electricity to provide power to pumps that run
the irrigation systems on certain of its vineyard properties. The Company's drip
irrigation system is largely responsible for the application of water and
certain fertilizers. California is currently experiencing a statewide energy
shortage and electricity costs are expected to increase, possibly as much as 20%
to 30% or more, and the possibility exists that energy blackouts could occur.
The Company currently spends approximately 3% of its direct farming costs per
acre on electricity annually. Prolonged electricity outages could effect the
timing of water or other applications, which could adversely affect the
Company's vineyards. To date, the Company has not experienced any prolonged
electricity blackouts and could, if necessary, use other methods of application
of water and fertilizers.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

    CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.  Through approximately June 30, 2001, the Company's
executive corporate office will occupy approximately 6,400 square feet in Marina
del Rey, California under a lease with TESH Partners, L.P. (the "Lessor"), a
limited partnership of which SVI is the general partner and four members of the
Scheid family are limited partners. Each of these members of the Scheid family
is a principal stockholder of the Company. The lease, which was to expire in
June 2004, will be terminated under an agreement with the Lessor on or about
June 30, 2001. See the information incorporated by reference under "Item
12--Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

    In connection with the relocation of its corporate headquarters, on
March 19, 2001 the Company entered into a three-year lease for approximately
6,700 square feet of office space in Salinas, California. The Company has an
option to lease the office space for an additional three-year term.

    The Company believes that its existing facilities will be adequate to meet
the Company's needs for the foreseeable future. Should the Company need
additional space, management believes it will be able to secure additional space
at commercially reasonable rates.

    VINEYARDS.  The Company currently owns approximately 1,800 acres of land and
leases approximately 2,600 acres of land underlying its vineyards, all of which
are located in Monterey County, California. The five leases to which the Company
is a party were entered into in 1973, 1979, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
and each of the land leases has an initial term of 24 to 30 years and options to
extend for up to an additional 10 to 20 years. Substantially all of the
Company's property, plant and equipment serves as collateral for long-term debt.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
Company's fourth quarter ended December 31, 2000.

OVERVIEW

    Scheid Vineyards Inc. is a leading independent (I.E., not winery controlled)
producer of premium varietal wine grapes. The Company currently operates
approximately 6,000 acres of wine grape vineyards. Of this total, approximately
4,400 acres are operated for the Company's own account, and 1,600 acres are
operated under management contracts for others. All of the properties currently
operated by the Company are located in Monterey and San Benito Counties in
California, both of which are generally recognized as excellent regions for
growing high quality wine grape varieties.

    The Company currently produces 18 varieties of premium wine grapes,
primarily Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon
Blanc. Substantially all of the Company's current wine grape production is
contracted at least through the harvest of 2001, and the majority is contracted
at least through the harvest of 2006. The Company's largest winery customer is
United Distillers and Vintners North America ("UDV"), a subsidiary of Diageo plc
and the eighth largest U.S. winery in terms of 2000 case shipments. Grape
purchase contracts with UDV covered 55% of the Company's acreage as of
December 31, 2000 and accounted for approximately 73% and 76% of the Company's
2000 and 1999 total revenues, respectively. Thus, the Company is substantially
dependent on UDV, and termination of these contracts could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. The Company has had grape purchase contracts with UDV and its
predecessors since 1972.

    For the year 2000, the Company harvested approximately 10,700 tons of wine
grapes, a 39% increase from the 1999 harvest of 7,700 tons. This increase is
primarily due to more favorable growing conditions in 2000 and approximately 15%
more acres in partial or full production. The Company's white wine grape
varieties, primarily Chardonnay, produced what the Company would consider
"average" yields. Red wine grape varieties, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot, were impacted by severe heat waves in mid-May and early June and
produced a below average crop. The prior year's harvest of 1999 was
substantially below historical average yields due to a prolonged cold spell in
the coastal growing regions of California.

    The wine grape business is extremely seasonal. Similar to most
nondiversified agricultural crop producers, the Company recognizes substantially
all of its crop sales revenues at the time of its annual harvest in September
and October. Because success of the Company's operations is dependent upon the
results of the Company's annual harvest, the first two quarters have
historically resulted in a loss and quarterly results are not considered
indicative of those to be expected for a full year. Profits, if any, are
recognized in the last two fiscal quarters of the year when revenues from grape
sales are recognized. In addition, the timing of the annual harvest varies each
year based primarily on seasonal growing conditions, resulting in timing
differences in the portion of grape revenues recognized in the

                                       21
<PAGE>
third and fourth quarters of any one year. This is a significant factor in
comparing quarterly operating results. From time to time, the Company has in the
past, and may in the future, convert grapes into bulk wine for sale in years
subsequent to the harvest year, which may impact quarterly results.

    REVENUES.  SVI derives its revenues from four sources: (i) sales of wine
grapes; (ii) sales of bulk wine; (iii) vineyard management and services revenues
consisting primarily of management and harvest fees and equipment rentals for
services provided to owners of vineyards; and (iv) sales of wine and
wine-related merchandise sold primarily through the Company's tasting room.
Sales (which is comprised of revenue from sales of wine grapes, bulk wine, and
wine and wine-related merchandise) increased to $16,416,000 in the year ended
December 31, 1999 from $11,804,000 in the 1999 period, an increase of $4,612,000
or 39%.

    Revenue from grape sales increased by 40% to $15,860,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $11,347,000 in 1999, an increase of $4,513,000. Overall,
tons harvested for the Company's own account increased by about 39%, with
approximately 10,700 tons harvested in 2000 compared to 7,700 tons in 1999. This
increase was primarily due to more favorable growing conditions in 2000 as
compared to 1999 and approximately 15% more acres in partial or full production
in 2000 as compared to 1999.

    Revenue from sales of bulk wine increased 6% to $228,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 from $216,000 in the 1999 period, an increase of $12,000.

    Revenue from the sale of wine and wine-related merchandise increased by 36%
to $328,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $241,000 in the 1999
period, an increase of $87,000.

    Revenue from vineyard management, services and other fees decreased to
$958,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $1,040,000 in the 1999
period, a decrease of $82,000. The decrease was primarily due to the elimination
of a 68-acre vineyard management contract in 1999.

                                       22
<PAGE>
    The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
101, which deals with revenue recognition. The Company has evaluated this
pronouncement and believes that it does not effect the way it recognizes
revenues.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$8,427,000 compared to $4,625,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, an
increase of $3,802,000 or 82%. Gross margin on grape sales increased to 47% in
2000 as compared to 30% in 1999.

    The increase in overall gross profit and in the gross margins from 1999 to
2000 resulted primarily from increased yields per acre, approximately 15% more
acres in partial or full production and a slight decrease in vineyard operating
costs per producing acre.

    Costs associated with the provision of management services are reimbursed by
the Company's clients, therefore, no cost of sales is deducted in determining
gross profit on these services.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased by 1% to $3,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from
$3,572,000 in the 1999 period, an increase of $22,000.

    INTEREST EXPENSE (INCOME), NET.  Net interest expense was $604,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to net interest income of $33,000 in
the 1999 period, an increase in net interest expense of $637,000, and is
comprised of the following:

</TABLE>

    Total interest expense increased primarily as a result of increased
borrowings and higher average interest rates in 2000. Capitalized interest
increased in the 2000 period due to increased expenditures for vineyard acreage
being improved or developed.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes increased to
$1,704,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $450,000 in 1999.

    NET INCOME.  Primarily as a result of grape sales revenue increases, net
income increased by $1,889,000 to $2,525,000 for the year ended December 31,
2000 as compared to $636,000 in the 1999 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    SVI's primary sources of cash have historically been funds provided by
internally generated cash flow and bank borrowings. The Company has made
substantial capital expenditures to redevelop its existing vineyard properties
and acquire and develop new acreage, and the Company intends to continue these
types of expenditures. Cash generated from operations has not been sufficient to
satisfy all of the Company's working capital and capital expenditure needs. As a
consequence, the Company has depended upon and continues to rely upon, both
short and long-term bank borrowings. Working capital at December 31, 2000 was
$5,190,000 as compared to $90,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of
$5,100,000. The increase in working capital from 1999 to 2000 was primarily due
to the timing of repayments of grape sales revenues to reduce the Company's
long-term crop line of credit.

                                       23
<PAGE>
    Under the Company's historical working capital cycle, working capital is
required primarily to finance the costs of growing and harvesting its wine grape
crop. The Company normally delivers substantially all of its crop in September
and October, and receives the majority of its cash from grape sales in early
November. In order to bridge the gap between incurrence of expenditures and
receipt of cash from grape sales, large working capital outlays are required for
approximately eleven months each year. Historically, SVI has obtained these
funds pursuant to credit lines with banks.

    The Company currently has credit lines that provide both short-term and
long-term funds. The Company's "crop" line has maximum credit available of
$15,000,000 and is intended to finance the Company's anticipated working capital
needs. This crop line expires June 5, 2002 and is secured by crops and other
assets of the Company. The interest rate on this line is based on the bank's
"reference" or "cost of funds" rate. At December 31, 2000, the weighted average
interest rate on borrowings under this line of $11,850,000 was 8.72%.

    SVI also has long-term credit facilities which expire through June 2008 and
provide for maximum borrowings totaling $8,915,000, which diminish annually
through the expiration dates to a maximum allowable commitment of $5,412,000. At
December 31, 2000, the outstanding amount owed by the Company under these
facilities was $8,915,000. The interest rate on each of these lines is based on
the bank's "reference" or "cost of funds" rate. At December 31, 2000, the
weighted average interest rate on these lines was 8.37%. These credit lines are
secured by deeds of trust on underlying vineyard properties.

    The Company also has other long-term notes payable which, as of
December 31, 2000, totaled approximately $5,575,000. The interest rate on these
notes is based on the bank's "reference" or "cost of funds" rate. At
December 31, 2000, the weighted average per annum interest rate on these notes
was 8.42%. These notes are secured by deeds of trust on underlying vineyard
properties.

    The Company also has a bank line of credit with an original maximum loan
commitment of $7,500,000, the proceeds of which were used to develop a vineyard
owned by a major client and managed under a long-term contract by the Company.
Any amount borrowed on the line, even if repaid before the end of the
availability period, permanently reduces the remaining available line of credit.
At December 31, 2000, the maximum available balance and outstanding balance on
this line of credit was $4,724,000. This line bears interest at the bank's
reference rate (7.27% at December 31, 2000) and is repayable in six annual
installments which began in January 2000. The note is secured by a letter of
credit provided by the client and by the Company's management contract. The
management contract provides for the Company's client to make payment of the
annual principal installments under this line as and when they become due.

    The Company's principal credit facilities and notes payable bind the Company
to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios within certain parameters and to satisfy other
financial tests. At December 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants except for the debt to tangible net worth covenant on certain of its
debt. The Company received a waiver from the bank at December 31, 2000, and
expects to be in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2001.

    Although no assurances can be given, management believes that the Company's
anticipated working capital levels and short-term and long-term borrowing
capabilities will be adequate to meet the Company's currently anticipated
liquidity needs during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. At
December 31, 2000, the Company had $3,150,000 in borrowing availability under
its crop line of credit.

    Management expects that capital requirements will result in the expenditure
of the Company's available cash, and additional borrowing under credit lines
and/or new arrangements for term debt may be necessary. The Company's planned
new vineyard developments are expected to require approximately $3.5 million in
capital investment over the next three years, and continued improvements

                                       24
<PAGE>
and redevelopments of existing vineyards are expected to require approximately
$2.3 million. In addition, the Company expects to invest approximately
$2.5 million in equipment purchases. Management believes it should be able to
obtain long-term funds from its present principal lender, but there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing when required or
that such financings will be available on reasonable terms.

    Cash provided by operating activities was $4,500,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to $992,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $3,508,000. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net income from
$636,000 in 1999 to $2,525,000 in 2000, and the timing of the payments of 1998
income tax liabilities which affected cash provided by operating activities in
the amount of $2,183,000 in 1999.

    Cash used in investing activities was $7,661,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to $14,706,000 for the same period in 1999, a
decrease of $7,045,000. The decrease was principally the result of reduced
expenditures for the ongoing development of approximately 1,300 acres of new
vineyards and improvements to the Company's existing vineyards. Expenditures for
development of vineyards are substantially incurred in the first two years of
development. The majority of these acres will become productive in 2001.

    Cash provided by financing activities was $7,010,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to $9,094,000 for the same period in 1999, a
decrease of $2,084,000. Net borrowings under the Company's long-term credit
lines were $7,619,000 in 2000, as compared to $11,608,000 in 1999. The
borrowings in both years were used primarily for expenditures to fund vineyard
development, primarily on the Company's new 740-acre vineyard which the Company
began developing in the fourth quarter of 1998. In addition, the Company
repurchased shares of its Class A Common Stock in the amount of $609,000 in
2000, as compared to $2,514,000 in 1999.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

    The Company intends to retain its future earnings, if any, and does not
anticipate paying cash dividends on either class of its Common Stock in the
foreseeable future. In addition, the Company's principal bank credit facilities
prohibit the payment of cash dividends without the consent of the lender.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Scheid Vineyards Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scheid
Vineyards Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and
stockholders' equity for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    ORGANIZATION--The principal business of the Company is the production of
premium varietal wine grapes. The Company currently operates approximately 6,000
acres of premium wine grape vineyards in Monterey and San Benito Counties,
California.

    The Company has long-term grape purchase agreements with several wineries
whereby the wineries agree to purchase substantially all of the Company's
current grape production. These contracts generally expire no earlier than the
completion of harvest in years ranging from 2001 to 2014 and are extended if
neither party cancels two or three years before the expiration date. The largest
set of these winery contracts with a single customer covers approximately 55% of
the Company's acreage at December 31, 2000 and accounted for approximately 73%
and 76% of the Company's total revenues in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
terms of the long-term grape purchase contracts with this customer extend to
between 2003 and 2014. The majority of the contracts extend to 2006 and have an
"evergreen" renewal provision whereby the contract continues unless either party
gives a three-year advance written notice of termination.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The Company conducts all of its business through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Scheid Vineyards California Inc., a California
corporation. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, substantially all cash balances
were on deposit with the Company's major bank.

    INVENTORIES--Inventories are stated at the lower of FIFO (first-in,
first-out) cost or market. Cost includes the cost of grown grapes, harvesting,
production, aging and bottling, and tasting room merchandise. Wine inventories
are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized trade practice
although certain inventories will be aged for periods longer than one year. Crop
costs associated with farming vineyards prior to the harvest are deferred and
recognized in the year the grapes are harvested. On a quarterly basis, the
Company evaluates the cost of its inventories and reduces such inventories to
market if required.

    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT--Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost and are depreciated using straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Vineyards generally have estimated
depreciable lives of 25 to 30 years, buildings 30 years, and furniture and
equipment 5 to 7 years. Development costs incurred during the development period
of a vineyard including related interest are capitalized. Depreciation commences
in the initial year the vineyard becomes commercially productive, generally in
the fourth year. Any revenue generated prior to a vineyard becoming commercially
productive reduces the capitalized cost of the vineyard. Capitalized costs were
reduced by revenues totaling $363,000 and $184,000 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The Company capitalized interest totaling $1,535,000 and
$1,185,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company recognizes revenue from grape sales when
the grapes are delivered to the winery. The Company does not have any allowance
for returns because grapes are tested and accepted upon delivery. Vineyard
management and other services are recognized as

                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
provided. Substantially all revenues of the Company are derived from customers
within the United States.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The fair values of accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximate book value because of their short duration.
Long-term receivables and long-term debt approximate book value because such
financial instruments have variable, market driven, interest rates.

    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
OF--Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of" requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. There were no such write-downs for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999.

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE AND CLASSES OF COMMON STOCK--Weighted average shares
outstanding includes both Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding for the
periods presented (Note 10). The effect of outstanding stock options and
warrants on the weighted average shares was antidilutive for the periods
presented.

    NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD--In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instrument and
Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments and must be adopted by the Company on January 1,
2001. It requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet and measurement of the instruments at fair
value. The Company currently does not have any derivative instruments as defined
by SFAS No.133.

5. LONG-TERM RECEIVABLE

    The Company has a contract to redevelop and manage certain vineyards owned
or controlled by a major client. The contract originally called for the
expenditure of approximately $7,500,000 over a three-year period. The funds for
this project were borrowed, as an accommodation to the client, by the Company
under a line of credit (see Note 7). The interest rate and payment terms of this
receivable are the same as the related note payable. The note payable to the
bank is secured by a letter of credit provided by the client and by the
management contract. The contract calls for the payment of this receivable by
the client's payment of the six annual principal installments under the line,
beginning January 5, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the receivable was due as
follows: $525,000 in 2001, $525,000 in 2002, $525,000 in 2003, $525,000 in 2004,
and $2,624,000 in 2005. The redevelopment of the property was completed in 1999
and the Company continues to manage the operations of the vineyard for the
client.

6. CROP LINE OF CREDIT

    The Company has a crop line of credit with a bank which currently provides
for maximum borrowings of $15,000,000 through June 5, 2002. Borrowings are
secured by crops and other assets with interest due quarterly at the bank's
reference rate. At December 31, 2000, the weighted average interest rate on
outstanding borrowings under this line of $11,850,000 was 8.72%. There was
$2,700,000 outstanding under the Company's crop line of credit at December 31,
1999.

    The crop line prohibits the payment of dividends without the consent of the
lender and contains various financial covenants, including minimum tangible net
worth and current working capital amounts, and total debt to net worth ratios.
At December 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all financial
provisions of the agreement.

    The Company accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value
method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial
statements for employee stock arrangements.

    SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires the
disclosure of pro forma net income and net income per share. Under SFAS
No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through
the use of options pricing models, even though such models were developed to
estimate the fair value of freely-tradable, fully transferable options without
vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option
awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock
price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the
calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected
life, 5 years following vesting; 51% and 54% stock price volatility in 2000 and
1999, respectively; weighted average risk free rate of return of 5.9% and 6.0%
in 2000 and 1999, respectively; and no dividends during the expected term.
Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the computed fair values of the
Company's stock option awards had been amortized to expense over the vesting
period of the awards, net income
