In 2000, Crossbarn Winery was established to honor his family’s farming heritage, offering a youthful expression of wines from Sonoma County and Napa Valley. Across the globe, Hobbs has been instrumental in revolutionizing and revitalizing historic and prominent wine regions, beginning with Argentina in the 1980s and now including Cahors, France; Armenia; and Galicia, Spain.
