A stunning collection of photographs that depicts the unstaged, natural beauty of California's wine industry from acclaimed Napa-based photographer Jimmy Hayes.
Behind the polished glass of the tasting room and the glamour of the wine boutique lies a world of relentless grit and a constant duel against unforgiving nature. Veritas is a powerful monograph that pulls back the curtain on the California wine industry—perfect for wine enthusiasts and visual historians.
Photographed and compiled by longtime wine industry insider and acclaimed photographer Jimmy Hayes, this collection captures the unscripted and quietly magnificent reality of winemaking. From cellar hand and sommelier to winery director and commercial photographer, Hayes's unique vantage point offers an intimate look at the true heart of viticulture.
This book also features a compelling foreword by three-time James Beard Award winner and world-renowned wine expert Rajat Parr and an afterword by the legendary San Francisco photographer Fred Lyon.
Veritas invites you to appreciate every bottle by honoring the hands, the dirt, and the dedication that brought it to life.
