Thumbprint Cellars winemaker, Scott Lindstrom-Dake, has been making wine since 1995. I developed a palate for fine wine, but as a college student I couldn't afford to buy it. My mom and step-dad have been growing premium wine grapes for years and the light bulb just kind of went on - I can make my own wine. So it began, a hobby in college to supplement the cellar of he and his wife.
The first vintage was a great success. The wines were enjoyed by friends and family alike (all 4 cases of it), and demand began to grow. As requests for more wine grew, Scott decided to move away from shiners (unlabeled bottles), and add a little flair to his wine packaging. Using a gold pen, he would write personal messages on each bottle he gave away or sold. During one such episode, Scott inadvertently grabbed the bottle where the gold ink was still wet leaving a large gold thumbprint. He loved the look, and so thumbprint cellars was born.
