about your hosts
Your fellow foodies, epicurians, and lovers of all things travel and exploration.
Between the two of us, we've been working in the California wine industry for over 17 years between Hospitality (think: working at wineries), Wine Clubs, and Digital Marketing. Not only that, John grew up in Napa and Tara grew up in Sonoma.
We've been around the block once or twice, have seen a lot of interesting things in the food and beverage industry (and enjoy spilling the tea about it, obviously). On top of that, we're avid travelers. While we wish we had this wild, wanderlust-filled nomadic lifestyle at times, we have an eight month old and full-time jobs that keep us nice and busy.
When we're not on a trip, we're happily home based where we grew up. We did get married in Italy, though! That was pretty sweet...
good question! let's dig in...
who are we, anyway?
