Taste Toast Travel
Hey, friends! Welcome to the Taste Toast Travel Podcast!
We're your hosts and resident foodies, epicureans, and lovers of all things travel and exploration, John and Tara.
John is a certified Sommelier and a Certified Specialist of Wine, and has worked in the wine and hospitality industry for over 10 years.
Tara has worked in the wine industry for eight years both in hospitality and digital marketing.
When we first met, we bonded over our love of eating, drinking, and traveling the world. That passion has only grown over time, now we want to share this passion with you from an insider perspective.
On this podcast, you can expect a wide range of topics on all things food, travel, and beverage. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, too, because we don't discriminate here!
That means we'll dig into things like where to go, where to stay and what to eat or drink along the way. We'll be serving tea on hot topics and big news, dig into the cultural significance and impacts that food, drink, and travel have on our lives, and we'll even bring on guests to join us who are just as excited, passionate, and knowledgeable about tasting, toasting, and traveling as we are.
And, because we're not your ordinary foodie and travel-focused podcast, you can definitely expect some pop culture topics here, too.
We're only scratching the surface and have a lot more in store that we can't wait to share with you all.
Grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable, and enjoy the journey with us. Cheers!

015. Major Starbucks Changes & Questionable Coffee Culture
We're digging into the current state of coffee culture in America (and how far we have to go) with a particular focus on good ol' Starbucks, which has experienced some slumping sales and unfavorable customer experiences.
With their new CEO Brian Niccol now in charge, we're dissecting some new and noteworthy changes Starbucks is making—changes that are also making some headlines as of late.
Could these shifts begin to reshape the way Americans experience their coffee? Let's talk about it!
