Question

Do I fulfill my obligation of the Friday night Kiddush if I did not hear the blessing over the wine (Hagafen)? (I entered the house exactly when the person reciting Kiddush finished saying the blessing over the wine, and I intended to fulfill my obligation of Kiddush.)

Answer

Shalom and blessings.

You have fulfilled your obligation of Kiddush.

And if you wish to taste from the Kiddush wine, as is customary, you should first recite the blessing “Borei Peri Hagafen.”
