It’s hard to believe but before late 2018 the well-respected Hitching Post Wines (made famous in the Oscar-winning 2004 feature motion picture, “Sideways,”) never had a tasting room. That all changed for the better in 2018 when acclaimed winemakers Gray Hartley and Frank Ostini debuted a mid-century farmhouse, destination Tasting Room (with lunch service delivered from Hitching Post 2) adjacent to Chef Ostini’s Hitching Post 2 restaurant in Buellton.Leading the Hitching Post Wines team are the creators and two long-time friends, Gray Hartley and Frank Ostini, who have been making wines in Santa Barbara County, California since 1979. Long before Hollywood discovered the winemaking landmark and its excellent wines, Gray Hartley, a former Alaskan salmon fisherman and Frank Ostini, chef and owner of the famed Hitching Post 2 Restaurant in Buellton, were brought together by their love of wine and winemaking. Over the years their backyard hobby has turned into a highly acclaimed winemaking enterprise. Lunch on the back Patio of The Hitching Post Wines Tasting Room is now accommodated with full service. Think Grilled Artichoke with Smoked Tomato Mayo and a Pulled Pork Sandwich on a Brioche Bun, South Carolina-style.Most of the Hitching Post Wines are available by the glass in the alfresco Patio Dining area. The various Tasting Flights (Traditional and Reserve Tasting) are available inside the front HPW Tasting Room.Gray Hartley joins us popping the cork on a bottle of their signature Highliner for us.The post Show 529, June 10, 2023: Hitching Post Wines, Buellton, with Gray Hartley appeared first on SoCal Restaurant Show.

Show 529, June 10, 2023: Hitching Post Wines, Buellton, with Gray Hartley

Gray Hartley and Frank Ostini make wine under the label Hartley-Ostini Wines, and Frank owns and operates the venerated Buellton barbecue restaurant, The Hitching Post II. Gray and Frank have been friends since 1976, when Santa Barbara Wine Country was just beginning to emerge. We sat together at the Hitching Post 2 and discussed how both men grew up, Gray’s commercial fishing career, Frank’s education at UC Davis, and the impact of the Oscar-winning 2004 movie Sideways, which features the Hitching Post II and Hartley-Ostini Wines prominently in the plot.
