About Etched Images
Etched Images had a humble beginning. David Lincoln, long-time Napa Valley resident, began etching and painting wine bottles for local Napa Valley wineries in 1989, as a one-man operation. In the beginning, these bottles were used by wineries as donations to local and national charity auctions, such as the Napa Valley Wine Auction. In 1992, Stuart McFarland, also a long-time Napan, left his management position with a large automotive accessory company to join David as a partner. They placed primary focus on catering to local wineries in developing and marketing the unique process of etching artwork into wine bottles started earlier by David. As the popularity of wine grew, so did the number of wineries. To date there are more than 7000 wineries in the United States, and countless others abroad. This has resulted in a proliferation of wine labels on the retail shelves, and more difficulty for the consumer to make a choice.
