Join us Wednesday, June 8th, from 4:30-7:30pm, when we welcome Paul Hobbs, Winemaker and Owner of Paul Hobbs Winery to our Wine Bar. Pioneer, Trailblazer, Trendsetter. These are all words used to describe Paul Hobbs. One of the first California winemakers to focus on single-vineyard wines, Paul Hobbs took the challenge one step further by dedicating himself to crafting unfiltered and unfined wines, fermented with native yeasts. His vision has resulted in exciting, structured wines that are rooted in classic old world techniques and, at the same time, are distinctly Californian in their expression. And, he continues to be a leader of Argentina’s ongoing winemaking revolution. Not bad for a farm boy from upstate New York.

Paul Hobbs has one of the more recognized names in winemaking, not only here in California, but all over the globe, as he spreads his consulting influence farther each year. We hardly need to say anything else. It's Paul Hobbs for heaven's sake, why would you miss this opportunity? Paul actually has a fascinating history with stints at great California landmarks, but the story of his dad bringing home a 1962 Chateau d'Yquem when Paul was just a lad and pouring it into dixie cups is perhaps the most intriguing. That is what catapulted him into a wine career, but why don't we let him tell it first hand. Come to the tasting and chat with this guy.

Paul will be presenting a lineup of his best wines featuring some of his single vineyard selections. We know you will enjoy meeting this legendary winemaker and asking him about his extraordinary global success while you taste through his wines from Napa and Sonoma. So come join us and help us welcome Paul Hobbs to the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant.
