“I’m pleased that Jessup Cellars is sharing my rock ‘n’ roll photo collection during the Yountville Live! Music Festival. I can’t think of a more rewarding trifecta than the enjoyment of music, wine and photography,” said photographer George Rose.
During a prolific 17-year career as a photojournalist in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Rose developed a remarkable and historic body of photographic work focused on popular culture. Rose is a recipient of a 1987 World Press Photo Award for news, and was named California Newspaper Photographer of the Year in 1976 by the University of Missouri, School of Journalism.
