A walk-around tasting and bottle signing with Special Guest Paul Hobbs. Twice named Wine Personality of the Year by Robert Parker’s “Wine Advocate”, Paul Hobbs is one of the most famous makers of wine, ever. He established his eponymous winery in 1991 and has been putting out small production, vineyard designated Napa & Sonoma wines that are darlings of the wine press. His background includes a stint as Head Enologist for Opus One in the early 80’s before he took the plunge into Argentina’s up-and-coming Mendoza region.

Today, he still consults to several South America wineries and has recently launched his Paul Hobbs Selection line of Argentine wines. Paul is particularly known for his natural approaches to winemaking. “It’s an irresistible challenge. I love to take the grapes from a particular site and let them show me different possibilities in the varietal, to make a wine in which the subtleties of the individual vineyard come through.” This special tasting will include generous appetizers. Space is limited for this event, please purchase tickets online.
