Park B. Smith

Park B. Smith is one of the world's great collectors of wine as witnessed by his receiving the first COPIA award in 2005 which recognized the finest wine collection in the United States. Through out a lifetime of collecting, Park has forged friendships with vintners and winemakers in Bordeaux, the Napa Valley, the California Central Coast, the Rhone, Spain and elsewhere. His focus on the best that these regions have to offer has culminated in a collection that is a benchmark of quality and depth. His relationship with the producers has enabled him to amass highly sought after vintages including many large format bottlings. Because Park's collection has been largely acquired directly from the wineries, their provenance is impeccable. Meticulous attention to detail has ensured that the wines in his collection have been kept in pristine condition within the confines of six state-of-the-art cellars that cover over 7,200 square feet.

Park B. Smith has lived an extraordinary life that includes the exceptional success of the Park B. Smith Home Fashions Corporation. His life-long pursuit of excellence has been shaped by his service in the U.S. Marine Corps and his collegiate experience at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. His philanthropic endeavors for his beloved alma mater are well-known.

His passions for the grape and love of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in particular are legendary. His dedication to the area's outstanding wines was recently capped by his election as honorary mayor of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Park welcomes you to experience the finest wines that region has to offer as well as wines from around the globe including many small production vintages you would have a hard time locating elsewhere. At Veritas, we invite you, your family, friends and fellow wine connoisseurs to indulge in one of the word's great wine lists and share Park's enthusiasm for the great wines of the world. In vino veritas.
