Hitching Post Gen Red 23

Made famous by the film Sideways, Hitching Post has been a Central Coast institution for decades. Their 'Gen Red' is their laid-back everyday pour — a juicy, smooth blend of Santa Barbara grapes with ripe cherry, plum, and a savory herbal note on the finish. Unpretentious California charm in a glass.
