Hitching Post
Ten years ago, Santa Barbara wine country received its Hollywood moment in a big way when Alexander Payne used the stunning seaside city as a shooting location for his bachelor wine tasting movie, Sideways. Who can forget Paul Giamatti's most famous line? "If anyone orders merlot, I am leaving!" he declared. "I am not drinking f***ing merlot!" In addition to the film's famous faces, each of the locales featured became characters themselves.

We sat down with Frank Ostini, the chef and winemaker at Hitching Post II, to talk Sideways, its 10th anniversary, behind-the-scenes moments and, of course, merlot.

Things to Do in Toronto to Escape the Toronto International Film Festival

It can be both invigorating and suffocating. If one wants to take a break from his/her movie packed schedule and see this decidedly beautiful, posh, and metropolitan town they can do so rather easily, as the majority of things to see remain within walking distance from one another.
