Happy Wine Wednesday! I am back with a new wine series that is perfect for upcoming Spring Break trips and hot girl summer plans. Today is the first episode of my California wine region tour, where I go through 4 (maybe 5) of the major wine regions in California starting from down South and working my way up to the North. I talk about what exactly makes them famous for growing grapes for wine, what types of grapes they are well known for, and describe the overall vibe/atmosphere incase you are planning on visiting these regions. These episodes are perfect for anyone, even if you just want some recommendations for wineries to visit at these locations.... I got you!

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today I have a chat with Julie Albin, who is a certified WSET consultant and level 1 wine educator. We sat down and had a conversation about her experience starting out with wine education and obtaining her level 4 wine and spirits certification, the obstacles of being a women of color in the wine industry, and she gives tips on how to taste wine like a pro. Honestly it was so much fun chatting with Julie and I hope you learn a thing or two about wine or maybe even get inspired to take your wine passion to the next level and get certified!

Happy Wine Wednesday Foxies!!! Today I have on y best friend Cinthya Marin who has been on the podcast before. We had an interesting conversation about what it means to be authentic, social media personas and basically talk about the blurred line between what is authentically you vs. what are you trying to portray? There's talks about social media trends, your personal style and memes lol. There is an unofficial drinking game tied to this episode so take a shot every-time we mention a meme okay! Trust me.. it's relevant to the episode.

Happy Wine Wednesday Foxies!!! Today I have on a special guest who works at a steakhouse and we have a chat on all things wine and steak. If you're a foodie like me you will LOVE today's episode. Sergio is actually training to become a server at his restaurant so we are putting his wine knowledge to the test. We dissect his restaurant's exact menu and talk about what we think would be a great wine to order. Things we talk about include wine 101, why cabernet sauvignon and steak is just the ultimate match made in heaven, and we recommend wine and steak for every preference (even if you are against dry red wines).

Today's episode is a solo episode and my second listener's submissions episode! This was an Instagram interactions post that I actually posted over a year ago! It was before I even started my podcast, I originally wanted to make my first episode with these interactions but ended up changing my mind and totally forgot about these submissions until recently lol. So I thought, since it's still the beginning of the new year, let's continue being reflective. So I read your submissions on what you would tell your 20 year old self, which all ranged from financial choices to relationships, which I enjoyed reading and could relate to a lot of them!

Also, for today's wine lesson, I thought it'd be great to celebrate Black History Month by featuring a wine region that isn't talk about as much: South Africa! They are a huge wine region that produces various white wines, including their famous Chenin Blancs, which is the episode's wine pairing. I love featuring different types of wine on this podcast so hopefully this month (and every month) you support black-owned businesses and try their South African Chenin Blancs.

Hello stranger, happy wine Wednesday! And Happy New Year! I am back this year with my first guest episode and because we recorded the episode a few days before the new year, we wanted to be reflective and fun, so we are playing a game this week. The game is called "We're Not Really Strangers" and if you haven't played it before... buckle up because it gets real. I am joined by Adela Martinez who has actually been on my podcast before, for a two part series (episodes 10 & 11). We get real deep with this game which we thought definitely fit the vibe for getting into the new years spirit. There's mentions of her ex boyfriends, high school memories, and our visions for the future. ALSOOOO, this is the first episode where I have a cocktail as an episode pairing! We love new beginnings. It's a chill fun one today so I hope you enjoy my first guest episode of 2023.
