SALINAS, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scheid Vineyards Inc. announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Financial Results Mike Thomsen, Chief Financial Officer, reports, "Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to $10.1 million from $7.0 million for the same period in 2006, primarily due to increased sales of bulk wine. Margins were lower for wine sold in 2007, which was primarily wine produced in 2006, than margins for wine sold in 2006, which was primarily wine produced in 2005. Yields of the 2005 harvest were at record levels, resulting in lower production costs per unit of bulk wine. As a result, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $2.8 million, as compared to $3.2 million in the 2006 period." Mr. Thomsen continued, "For the three months ended March 31, 2007, income from operations totaled $0.3 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2006. Early in 2007, the Company sold a 360-acre vineyard, resulting in a one-time gain of $4.2 million. After reflecting the gain on the vineyard sale and income taxes on net profits, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $2.6 million ($2.57 per share), compared to $0.5 million ($0.45 per share) in 2006."

This expansion will increase capacity from a current 18,000 tons of processing capability to approximately 30,000 tons and will be completed in time for the 2007 harvest." About Scheid Vineyards Inc.
