A visit and barrel tasting at Laird Family Estate, whose wines are fathered by the great Paul Hobbs. Little would you know it, though, if you only looked at the labels. Sometimes, you have to stalk the winemaker before you can find all of his wines.

Today we're starting a new feature. It's called Stalk the Winemaker.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and had the absolute-best calzone you've ever had in your life, or the absolute-best jager schnitzel, or the absolute-best chile relleno, only to go back to that restaurant six months later and find out that that dish is no longer as amazing as it once was? Well. In many cases, the problem there is that the chef has left. THe exact same thing happens in wine. Except the chef is the winemaker. And when the winemaker of one of your favorite wines leaves, a lot of times the next bottle you get is a little bit of a disappointment.

We here at bottlingroom.com are totally against these rogue winemakers getting away without leaving a trace. So we're going to be stalking them. And today, we're going to be stalking the great Paul Hobbs. He's responsible for all the wines at Laird Family Estate wines.
Paul Hobbs, stalking victim. Trace his work and you'll trace fine wines.
