On Wednesday, October 20, 2010, we will be featuring wines from the Paul Hobbs Imports portfolio from Mendoza. As some of you may know, Paul Hobbs has made quite a name for himself with his wines from California, especially his single-vineyard Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignon. He has been consulting in Argentina since the early '90s, and in 1999 he produced his first Argentine Malbec. With nearly two decades of experience with Mendoza terroir, his wines, as well as those he consults for, have gone from strengh to strengh, and it is safe to say that they are now better than ever.
Gaston Leyack, Brand Manager of Paul Hobbs Imports, will be joining Max in discussing the wines.
