Premier Partner Episode Feature:

Hitching Post Winery

Frank Ostini, the chef winemaker at Hitching Post Winery, reached out to me following the release of our Harvest Episode, and shared stories of his own early harvests in the 1980s, singing the Ban Bourguignon with Jim Clendenen and Adam Tolmack, and a trip of a lifetime to Burgundy in 1988 to attend the Paulée de Meursault. 

The Hitching Post Wines and the Hitching Post II restaurant of Buellton CA, are iconic establishments in Santa Barbara County –memorialized forever in Sideways fame and deeply loved by Santa Barbara County locals. They offer the quintessential Santa Barbara wine and food experience – and encapsulate the soul and the terroir of the Santa Ynez Valley.


The Hitching Post has featured West Coast BBQ at its best since 1986 – offering lunch over picnic grounds and curated tasting experiences to complement the stunning views of the Santa Ynez mountains. Inspired by Burgundy they have made Santa Barbara Pinot Noir from many of the best vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley since 1984.

Michel Joly

Born in Phnom-Penh, Michel Joly is a photographer based in Burgundy. His work revolves primarily around the notion of terroir and territory, with various angles of approach: history and heritage, geography, the economy of the terroir, but also and especially the links that unite man and his territory. 

 

Today, whether in Burgundy or beyond, more than half of his work is linked to the world of wine. He is one of the official photographers contracted by the “Climates de Bourgogne” for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Photography by: Summer Staeb

Summer was born and raised in Southern California where she currently resides. Her work evokes a sense of nostalgia for times past, days well spent, and the moments that bring people together. She shoots lifestyle, event, fine art and travel photography. Most of her work is shot on 35mm and medium format film. (Summer shot the many beautiful photos for us during a short visit to Burgundy during the perfect "golden moment" of Autumn).
