Locales Only : Hi-Time Wine Shop Brothers Reflect on Cuba, Champagne, and Early SoCal Life

SHOW NOTES

This time, on Locales Only, we pick up the owners of a Costa Mesa institution, Hi-Time Wine and Spirits, Chuck and Harold Hanson. If you’ve never been to Hi-Time, it is a maze of a store filled with every wine you could imagine and some you've never heard of. If you want a rare bottle of Pinot Noir from the depths of the Andes mountain range, Chuck and Harold are your guys. To celebrate their fantastic store and the thousands of people that come into the shop every year, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane to learn their life story, how they founded Hi-Times, and how they found themselves in a hippie commune in Cuba for years!

Locales Only
There’s so much that makes Southern California one of the best places in the world. That’s why, for almost a decade, the founder of Locale magazine, Eric Hale, has been showcasing the people, places, restaurants, and events that give SoCal its reputation. Now he’s taking his show on the road, literally, in a brand new Mercedes-Benz EQE courtesy of Fletcher Jones Motorcars in Newport Beach as the rolling podcast studio. You’ll get a taste of what it feels like to go on a cruise with some of the biggest names in California. Think actors, musicians, award-winning chefs, business leaders, and locals who have built so much of the California coastline. So buckle up, turn your volume up, and let’s cruise with Locales Only.
