As a Senior Relationship Manager, Hoffman will be responsible for managing a portfolio of high profile clients throughout the premium winemaking regions of California and the Northwest.

In addition to his wine industry expertise, Hoffman has strategic planning knowledge from working several years in finance, asset management and treasury.

"Grant Hoffman's understanding of finance and the wine industry make him a great addition to our rapidly growing Premium Wine Group," said Adam Beak, head of Bank of the West's Premium Wine Group.

Through its dedication to strong, long-lasting relationship, the Premium Wine Group has grown with its clients in recent years, more than doubling its assets since 2009. In the same time period the Bank has doubled the size of its wine banking team to meet the growing demand for its financial expertise and products, including loans, foreign exchange and cash management.

With both domestic and international clients turning to the Premium Wine Group, the Bank's relationship with BNP Paribas remains a unique advantage, allowing Bank of the West to combine a local touch with a global reach spanning wine-producing regions throughout the world.
