Taste Buds! Welcome to our first episode with a RETURN guest! Not only does award wining sommelier Tira Johnson (Chez FiFi, Sushi Noz) return BUT she is joined by another award winning sommelier AND restaurant owner of SMITHEREENS, Nikita Malhotra. Yes, that's 2 badass women in wine on 1 couch. How did we get so lucky? We cover a lot of terroir this episode; from the current state of food media and reviews, to how they each approach creating their wine lists, "BURGUNDY BROS", the oldest bottles they have ever drank and their go to karaoke songs. Plus, UGLY BABIES! THE BEST OYSTERS EVER! ANNNNNNND we play a very silly game we made up called SIP OR SPIT! Dolly also makes an appearance so you might wanna watch this one for the dog alone.
