Yesterday, Truett-Hurst Inc. (THST-NASDAQ) summed up nicely its numerous packaging awards and recognitions received in 2014 alone. The California winemaker is frequently recognized by the beverage industry for the quality of its wines, but also from the graphic design industry due to its packaging innovations and uniquely artistic style of branding its wines. The latter point hinges on the talents of the Company’s creative director, Kevin Shaw, who is founder of beverage design group Stranger & Stranger.
