Paul Hobbs: The Farmer Who Became a Global Wine Icon
In the world of fine wine, few names carry the same weight as Paul Hobbs.

Yet the story of Paul Hobbs does not begin in Napa Valley tasting rooms or among collectors chasing 100-point scores. It begins on a fruit farm in upstate New York, where hard labor, cold winters, and a deep connection to the land shaped the philosophy that would define his career.
