Paul Hobbs
Cel mai important vinificator american Paul Hobbs și-a făcut numele divorțându-se de una dintre cele mai puternice companii de vin din lume și ignorând sfaturile profesorilor săi de vinificație. Îi spune lui Linda Murphy de ce
Este foarte tentant să-l numim pe Paul Hobbs americanul Michel Rolland.
La fel ca viticultorul consultant galiviant din Bordeaux, Hobbs are propriile sale branduri de vin de succes (Paul Hobbs Wines în California și Viña Cobos în Argentina) și își câștigă existența semnificativ ca consultant pentru aproximativ trei duzini de vinării din California, Argentina, Chile și Ungaria.
Cu toate acestea, Hobbs citează câteva diferențe fundamentale.
„Abordarea lui Michel este mai concentrată în laborator și în amestec, în timp ce a mea este de la capăt”, spune Hobbs într-o zi însorită de august în valea râului rus Sonoma, locul cramei sale și podgoria Lindsay de 5,6 ha (hectar).
‘Am ajuns la consultare întâmplător, dar pentru Michel era treaba lui. Consultanța nu era o prioritate, dar mi-a plăcut și am învățat atât de multe. ”
Cu toate acestea, stagiul de consultanță de 10 ani al lui Hobbs în Argentina (a început în 1989) pentru Nicolás Catena la Bodega Catena Zapata din Mendoza, a făcut posibilă crearea Paul Hobbs Wines.
Primul loc de muncă plătit de vinificator al lui Hobbs a fost la Winery Robert Mondavi din Oakville, în 1978. Lucrând acolo până în 1984, a contribuit la crearea Opus One pentru partenerii Mondavi și baronul Philippe de Rothschild.
În 1985, Hobbs s-a mutat la Winery Simi din județul Sonoma din Alexander Valley, ca asistent de vinificator, ajungând în cele din urmă la vicepreședinte / vinificator. A plecat în 1989, când compania-mamă, Louis Vuitton-Moët Hennessy, a văzut lucrările sale de consultanță pentru Catena, lângă Bodegas Chandon ale LVMH, ca dormind cu inamicul.
