Welcome to The Claremont Life Podcast, a lifestyle podcast dedicated to the people, businesses, stories, and experiences that make Claremont such a special place to call home.
In this episode, we sit down with Sal Medina, owner of Packing House Wines, Claremont City Councilmember, trained sommelier, and one of the community’s most recognizable local business owners.
Sal shares the story behind Packing House Wines and his path into the wine industry, including the experience and knowledge that led him to become a trained sommelier. We talk about what it takes to build and operate a small business and the role that independent businesses play in shaping the character of Claremont.
The conversation also goes well beyond wine. As a longtime and active member of the community, Sal brings a unique perspective on Claremont, both as a business owner and as someone who serves the city on the Claremont City Council.
