ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Schedule 13D relates to the Class A Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Class A Common Stock"), of Scheid Vineyards Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 13470
Washington Blvd., Marina del Rey, California 90292.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a) NAME
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D is filed by (1) Alfred G. Scheid with
respect to shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned
by him and (2) Alfred G. Scheid, as Trustee ("Trustee") of the Alfred G.
Scheid Revocable Trust, dated October 8, 1992 (the "Trust"), with respect
to shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by him in
such capacity. The foregoing persons are hereinafter sometimes referred to
collectively as the "Reporting Persons." The Reporting Persons are making
this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a
"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act.
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D amends the amended and restated
Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 1), previously filed by the Reporting Persons
on January 9, 1998, as amended by Amendments Nos. 2 and 3 thereto
previously filed by the Reporting Persons on April 29, 1998 and May 15,
1998. Only items or portions of items that are being amended are set forth
in this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated
thereunder and generally includes voting or investment power (including
dispositive power) with respect to securities. Shares of Class A Common
Stock into which each Reporting Person's shares of Class B Common Stock may
be converted on a one-for-one basis (as described below) within 60 days of
the date of this Schedule 13D are deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of each Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of Class A
Common Stock, but no other shares of Class A Common Stock into which any
other person's shares of Class B Common Stock may be converted are deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of any Reporting
Person's beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock.
Each share of Class B Common Stock has five votes compared to one vote for
each share of Class A Common Stock on each matter upon which the holders of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single
class. The holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock generally vote together as a single class on all matters except the
election of Directors. The Class B Common Stock is convertible at the
option of the holder thereof for shares of Class A Common Stock on
-4-
<PAGE>
a one-for-one share basis, subject to certain restrictions on transfer.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, shares of the Class B Common Stock
will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a
one-for-one basis.
As of the date of this filing, Mr. Scheid, individually and as Trustee, is
the beneficial owner of 1,649,589 shares of Class A Common Stock. These
shares represent approximately 34.6% of the aggregate number of shares of
Class A Common Stock (4,770,989) outstanding and deemed to be outstanding
for purposes of this calculation. If all 3,375,000 outstanding shares of
Class B Common Stock were converted to Class A Common Stock, Mr. Scheid,
individually and as Trustee, would be the beneficial owner of approximately
25.4% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (6,496,400). The
1,649,589 shares of Class B Common Stock owned beneficially by Mr. Scheid,
individually and as Trustee, constitute approximately 41.2% of the total
combined voting power of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock (when voting as a single class) and approximately 48.9% of the total
voting power of the Class B Common Stock.
Mr. Scheid's wife, as trustee of a trust for her benefit, owns 100,000
shares of Class B Common Stock and is the beneficial owner of 100,000
shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 3.1% of the
aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock (3,221,400) outstanding
and deemed to be outstanding for purposes of this calculation. Mr. Scheid
does not have any voting power or investment power with respect to the
shares owned by his wife, and he disclaims beneficial ownership of such
shares.
(b) Mr. Scheid has the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of securities
he holds as Trustee, as well as the investment power, including the power
to dispose or to direct the disposition, of the shares he holds as Trustee.
(c) On September 3, 1998, Mr. Scheid made various gifts to his children of an
aggregate of 60,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. These shares have
retained their status as shares of Class B Common Stock in the hands of the
donees.
Mr. Scheid has not effected any transactions in the Class A Common Stock
other than as described herein during the 60 days prior to the date of this
Schedule 13D.
(d) Not Applicable.
(e) Not Applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Buy-Sell Agreement, dated as of
December 31, 1997, (the "Buy-Sell Agreement"), among the Company, the Trustee
and certain

other holders of Class B Common Stock, no holder of shares of Class B Common
Stock (other than the Trustee) may, with limited exceptions, transfer such stock
or convert such stock into Class A Common Stock without first offering such
stock to the Company and then to certain other parties to the Buy-Sell
Agreement. A copy of the Buy-Sell Agreement is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and
incorporated herein by this reference. The Buy-Sell Agreement applies to a
broad range of transfers and dispositions other than transfers to (i) the
Company, (ii) any other Class B stockholder, (iii) a current or former spouse or
direct lineal descendant of any Class B stockholder including without
limitation, adopted persons (if adopted during minority) and persons born out of
wedlock, and excluding foster children and stepchildren, (iv) a trust under
which all of the beneficiaries are persons described in clauses (ii) or (iii)
above, and (v) a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, all of
the equity interests of which are owned by persons or entities described in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above or corporations, partnerships and
limited liability companies described in clause (v).

May 7, 1998, among the Company, Mr. Scheid, certain other stockholders of the
Company and Cruttenden Roth Incorporated (the "Representative") as the
representative of the several underwriters named therein, Mr. Scheid has agreed,
subject to certain exceptions, not to sell or otherwise dispose of any
securities of the Company for 180 days after the date of the final prospectus
for the offering (May 8, 1998). The Underwriting Agreement exempts certain
transfers and dispositions permitted pursuant to the terms of the Buy-Sell
Agreement and certain other transfers and dispositions, including the gift
transactions described in Item 5(c) above. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement
is attached hereto as EXHIBIT B and incorporated herein by this reference.
