Hobo
We began the namesake Hobo Wine Company in 2002. My dad didn’t think it was a very good name for a wine company and many people have shared his sentiment over the years, but it has always felt right to us so we have braved on with it.
Hobo is all Sonoma County. I was raised in Sonoma County and after a lot of searching around have chosen to raise my two daughters here as well.
As a grape growing region, there is so much to explore and experiment with and the many sub AVAs have characters and qualities that make a Sonoma County brand able to evolve and stay exciting. Primarily, we have focussed on Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, but more recently, we have added an Aglianico to experiment with what might the future.
