Paul Hobbs at The Curious Grape last night!
Paul Hobbs was at The Curious Grape for two one-hour seminars last night where he showcased six wines ranging in price from $34-$180 a bottle, both red and whites. He provided the audience with personal background on how he entered the wine profession and interesting facets of wine production in California and South America - things you don't always think of when you take that sip of wine. He was humorous and approachable to the 30-40 individuals in attendance in each time slot, which made drinking his fine wine that much more enjoyable!
