Five Spice Braised Pork Shoulder | Recipe
Braised Pork Shoulder and Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast, CA
Paul Hobbs was raised on a farm and first discovered the value of terroir when his father had him taste and note the differences between apples grown at nearby orchards. This experience has influenced his approach to winemaking, including at Crossbarn, which he founded in 2000 in Sebastopol, California.
