2016 Grand Prize Winner: Andrew Lincoln, Napa County
The vineyard before first light “makes for a very surreal environment and very dramatic moments,” said Andrew Lincoln of this view of the chardonnay winegrape harvest. “What really matters is the collective process behind the (wine) product—everything from the farmers who manage the crop to the stories of the laborers and to the wildlife who call it their home.”
