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, pop culture, the cultural significance and impacts that food, drink, and travel have on our lives, and bring on guests and experts who are just as excited, passionate, and knowledgeable about tasting, toasting, and traveling as we are. 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!

060. New Year’s Celebrations Around the World: Global Traditions & Rituals
New Year’s is one of the few moments the entire world seems to pause, but the way we welcome a new beginning looks completely different depending on where you are.
In this solo episode, Tara takes you on a global journey through New Year’s traditions around the world, exploring how different cultures use food, ritual, symbolism, and community to let go of the old year and step into what’s next.
You’ll hear:
✈️ How New Year traditions reflect cultural values around luck, renewal, and community
✈️ Why food plays such a powerful role in New Year’s celebrations around the world
✈️ The shared themes that connect global New Year rituals across cultures
✈️ Ways you can borrow meaningful New Year traditions from other countries
✈️ How to approach the New Year with more intention, even from home
This episode is part cultural exploration, part armchair travel, and part reflection on how we can bring more intention into our own New Year—no plane ticket required!
