A room with a view where art meets terroir. Paul’s wife, @cristinahobbs creates her ceramics and paintings in a studio carved from the historic 1850s farmhouse at Ross Station Estate, our former stagecoach stop surrounded by 5 acres of Chardonnay vines. Born in Germany and trained at California College of the Arts, Cristina’s work captures the same coastal fog, shifting light, and natural rhythms that define our winemaking. Visitors to Katherine Lindsay Estate will recognize her pieces throughout the tasting room, each one inspired by the landscape outside these very windows. Whether at her potter’s wheel or painting canvas, she observes the daily vineyard life that unfolds below: morning fog burning off the Green Valley, the play of light across vine rows, the seasonal changes that mark each vintage’s journey. Her art and Paul’s wines share the same muse - this remarkable place we call home.
