Winery Description

In the early 1930s, Samuel Lindsay was a Gandy Dancer, one of the unsung heroes who built America's railways with rhythmic precision and sheer strength. It was by Samuel and his team’s hands that the foundation for America's westward progress was laid, one hammer swing at a time.

Samuel's story is one of perseverance, grit, and endurance—the same qualities that define Samuel Lindsay Wines. As Samuel and his crew carved paths for the railroads, they relied on synchronized chants to coordinate their efforts, transforming grueling work into harmonious teamwork. The influence of the songs and chants of the Gandy Dancers can still be felt today in the blues, gospel, jazz, and even rock and roll.

Just as Samuel and his team moved in unison to the rhythm of their tools, our winemakers labor with precision and care, transforming the raw bounty of the vineyard into something beautiful, balanced, and timeless. Each bottle of Samuel Lindsay wine is a testament to his enduring story.

Our varietals are crafted with the same spirit Samuel and his crew brought to the railroads. Whether you're savoring the bold, deep notes of our reds or our whites' bright, refreshing flavors, you’re tasting the result of dedicated craftsmanship. The spirit of the Gandy Dancers, with their steady rhythm and communal strength, lives on in every sip.
