Key scene of movie Sideways filmed here, at Hitching Post in Buellton. Sit at the bar, just like Miles and Jack, sip excellent Highliner pinot noir from proprietor's own vineyard ($14 a glass) and wolf down flavorful flat-iron steak ($24 on the "lite" dinner).
Behind me, tourists pose for souvenir photos in front of autographed movie poster. Servers not as sultry as Virginia Madsen, though, not even after second glass. Sigh.
Hitching Post, 406 E Highway 246, Buellton, Calif., 805-688-0676
