My younger sister, Amanda, had the great idea for us to record an episode together when we were home for Christmas 2023 in NJ. Although she lives in Southern CA and I'm in Northern CA, our hearts are still rooted in New Jersey, where our older sister and the rest of our family reside. So while we were home for the holidays, we opened some bubbles, put on some mics and made it happen!In this episode, we reminisce about growing up on the East Coast, our family gatherings, and the love of wine, food and each other that that keeps us close!Join us as we dive into heartwarming and hilarious childhood stories, revealing the moments that have shaped our unique sisterhood bond.We talk about:What got us into wine- and how our preferences differHow I got in trouble for hiding my broccoli bottomsWhat it was like growing up in New Jersey Our modernization of the Feast of the 7 FishesWhy you MUST have cream cheese in the house at all timesIt’s Silly and Heartfelt and I’m always grateful for the time we have together. Here’s our favorite recipe for Hogwash cilantro + jalapeño sauce for oysters.Sip Spotlight: Schramsberg Brut Rose 2020- available through my affiliate partner wine.com: Purchase HereIf you'd like to Support the Podcast, (you can buy me a glass of wine or our producer Kathryn a bourbon) we would be so grateful!Please consider Rating, Reviewing and Following Us on Apple Podcasts!“Delightful and fun.
