Narrative:

While taxiing to the GA ramp for a special fuel requirement; I inadvertently took the nose of the plane across the hold line on B short of 32R. My first officer spoke up immediately and we stopped and contacted ground and were issued a clearance to continue. No conflicts occurred because of this event. Neither of us had been to the GA ramp before and were looking ahead to locate the next taxiways. This intersection could be classified as a hot spot since the 32R threshold is not right in front of you on taxiway B; it is down to the left and that area is a little deceiving.
