Paul Hobbs Winery was founded in 1991 after a long journey for Paul, which began at an early age. It was a bottle of 1962 Chateau d'Yquem that changed everything. Ted's bottany professor at the University of Notre Dame encouraged him to attend weekly wine-tasting seminars and helped him refocus to pursue winemaking. After studying at UC Davis and landing a first job at Robert Mondavi Winery, Paul found himself the Head Enologist at Opus One.

With a stellar background, Paul set out to produce small lot, hand-crafted, vineyard designate wines - starting with one chardonnay, one pinot noir and one cabernet sauvignon. The wines produced are the result of years of perseverance, patience and experimentation with wine.
