Happy Wine Wednesday! Today's episode is part 3 and the last part of my "Chips & Myths" series, where I eat chips with wine and debunk common myths in the wine industry. For the wine segment today I go the *spicy* route and pair the TJ's version of takis with a dry Riesling. Another 10/10 let me tell you! I've had many screwcap wines on the podcast and wanted to touch on the misconception that... they're cheap quality. This wine pairing was a screwcap and let me tell you... it was great! Listen to hear more reasons why screwcaps are not anything to do with quality, and thank you for tuning in to my series the past weeks!

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today's episode is part 1 of my "Chips & Myths" series, where I eat chips with wine and debunk common myths in the wine industry. For the wine segment today I try pairing a sauvignon blanc with sour cream and onion chips which was... interesting. I also included some crunchy ASMR lol. Then I give some pointers on why the common myth of "white wine only pairs with chicken or fish" is a blanket statement that is NOT entirely true. Plus, I also give some alternative recommendations for these types of dishes. Hope you enjoy this series and stay tuned for part 2!

I'm back foxies! Wow I did not mean to take a podcast hiatus, but here I am. Thank you to those who have stayed loyal and tuned in to my new episode back, and new season! I thought... why not? What a great time to rebrand and come back with a new season. This first episode back is a little late to the game but I am embracing the "new year, new me" attitude. Instead of making new resolutions this year, I thought it would be great to react to my resolutions from last year and reflect... so join me on this journey. And last minute I decided to invite my sister on the second part of the podcast to talk about our ins and outs for 2024... along with some pop culture predictions. And of course what's a chattyfox podcast without a wine lesson? I dive into organic wine and try a fusion of wine and cider.. so I hope you enjoy this new episode back and stay tuned for future solo and guest episodes that I have in store!

This week's episode is part 2 of my California Wine Region Series! Today I am covering Los Angeles County, my home and birthplace. Who knew Los Angeles County was considered a major wine region? But did you know it is made up of 6 AVAs? That's how big LA county is. LA is also big on natural and organic ingredients, which means that they are popular for organic wines and kick-starting an orange wine fad. But honestly, I wanted to focus on the actual winery experience and where winemakers grow their wines in a location as big as LA. I will be focusing on the west and east sides of LA county: Malibu and Antelope Valley. I cover a brief history of how they became AVAs, their climate that makes it perfect to grow grapes, and I end off the episode with specific underrated wineries recommendations for your next LA funday. This episode is perfect if you live in LA County and are curious to try wines from places other than wine bars to get the true vineyard experience without driving out too far (because let's be real, LA is full of wine bars and wine shops without the authentic winery vibe).

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.

I also include some Instagram interactions where I asked my foxy's what their new year resolutions were. Finally, of course I didn't forget about the wine segment this week. The wine lesson and pairing this week also goes with the "new year, new me" attitude by having some vegan chardonnay. I talk a little bit on how vegan wine is made and explain how you can be more mindful on choosing the right wine that is sustainably made and fits with your lifestyle.

Happy wine Wednesday! Today is part two of our conversation with my anonymous guest with the alias "Mr Wilson Creek". It's time to get spicy! He gets into the topic of poppers and bathhouses, including his personal experiences with the two. He ends off the episode with his thoughts on being gay and Latino, and how that has affected his relationships among his religious family members. There's mentions of machismo, being accepted and religion. Also.... he just nonchalantly mentioned an exorcism like nothing???? LMAO trust you need to listen to know what I am talking about. He gets real deep today so I hope you enjoy today's episode and appreciate his vulnerability as much as I did.

Happy wine Wednesday! Today I have a very special guest who will remain anonymous, however they brought so much light and funniness into our conversation that it had to be turned into a two-parter. Today for part one we sit down and have a glass of a very interesting wine I never heard of until now: a white cabernet sauvignon! My guest also loves to talk about wine so we chat a bit about our experiences wine tasting, as well as some embarrassing drunk stories. Then my guest wanted to take some time to debunk some myths about the gay community, since he identifies as a gay man. This episode is full of fun, laughter and deep insights so I hope you enjoy today's episode and tune in next week to hear part 2, where we get more into the gay community and how it intersects with Latinidad.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today I have a very exciting and festive solo episode that I really hope you enjoy and can put to use for your next Christmas movie wine night. Today I give tips and examples of pairing wine with different cheeses for your next holiday charcuterie board (or as I like to call it, char "coochie" board lol). I talk about different types of cheeses from creamy Brie to funky goat cheese, and try to recommend specific wines that can cater to any taste preferences. I end the episode by talking about some of my personal favorite Christmas movies which range from classics like Home Alone 2, chaotic comedies like The Night Before, to new releases like Violent Night. Of course to make it fun I also pair each movie with a wine based on the aesthetic (which may or may not result in you blacking out or crying your eyes out... who knows). I hope you find this episode entertaining and try it at your next movie night!

*DISCLAIMER: There are talks about NSFW topics including sex work, listener discretion is advised Happy wine Wednesday! This week I have a conversation with Christina Salazar on her experience getting into sex work and how it's like being a plus size model. We get deep into details that include cosplay, owning your sexuality, as well as setting boundaries. She also wanted to share her thoughts on society's ideals for women and having children (spoiler alert, she doesn't want any!). It gets pretty risque this week so feel free to skip if it makes you uncomfortable (or just have it playing on mute so you can help me get listens LOL).

Happy Holidays! With Thanksgiving literally tomorrow, I thought it was a great time to have a glass of wine and just talk about holiday anxiety and holiday stress. Similar to seasonal depression, I just never had the chance to actually talk about how holiday anxiety shows up or looks like in my life, so I hope you guys are ready for another venting session! lol. This week I talk about those pesky family members who we dread to see at Thanksgiving dinner, as well as my personal experiences and stress of people pleasing and dealing with a loss during the holidays. Holiday anxiety has many layers and you know what, it's okay. I am here for you, and even though my title makes light of the situation, if you really do feel like the holidays is a very stressful time, seek help where you feel the most comfortable! I hope you found this week's therapy session a good one and hope that it made you feel like I can be your friend to talk to :) DISCLAIMER: I did not mention this in the episode because I am dumb, but I want to say I am not a medical professional. If you feel like you need help, seek professional advice or help this holiday season.

Today's episode is all about you! I literally just sit down and read your submissions that I received on Instagram on your hangover stories and hangover cures. I also of course talk about some stories of my personal hangover stories and cures. Things mentioned in stories include a fast speed train, blacking out at a wedding, and Jersey Mike's. Of course there's a wine tasting portion, which features a chardonnay and debunking a famous wine myth, but you can skip to 17 minutes to start hearing your submissions.

Happy wine Wednesday! Today, I am joined by my friend Janelli Vallin who is an advocate for sexual health and is a fellow Latina in the public health field.

Hey beautiful! So no one told you life was gonna be this way? I am back this week with a solo episode, and I had an urge to just talk about my 2 favorite shows: How I Met Your Mother and Friends. I thought, well these shows tackled a lot of issues and topics related to being in your 20s and felt like I needed to share my perspective of them with you all. I hope you enjoy me rambling on about these two shows and how they relate to my own 20s experience. I talk about examples like Chandler/Marshall being unemployed, Barney/Robin/Lily/Monica having daddy& mommy issues, as well as the most common dilemma of going out with your friends... splitting the bill *GASP*. This week's wine pairing is also a different one and relates to this week's mini wine lesson... a dessert wine! Yes, for all my sweet wine loving followers, this wine is a great one to try! It literally came straight from Greece as well. I go more into depth about the wine itself and how exactly dessert wines are made.

Hello! Happy #WineWednesday! This week is a solo episode with me and another week of being my therapist lol. I dive into the topic of people pleasing and how I learned to start respecting my boundaries. I basically go over all of the times I was a doormat to people and how I'm slowly starting to stand up for myself. Enough is enough, this Pisces is tired! I chose this topic for my episode because I came across a thread about this topic and they related it to their childhood trauma and seeing their parents constantly fight... and omg did I resonate with that a lot! Tune in to hear more about my experiences growing up and how I think that connects to my own people pleasing tendencies. I hope you enjoy it and find it insightful, grab a glass and let's chat! Also sorry for my voice sounding so raspy, I am still recovering from Covid at the moment but I did feel well enough to drink some wine and chat #rip.

Good nutrition impacts the development of the fetus and sets the stage for a healthy lifestyle. Ensuring that a mother is receiving the necessary nutrition is crucial for any pregnancy. However, with vegan and vegetarian diets on the rise, mothers who follow these diets are prone to vitamin deficiency that could lead to adverse developmental effects on the infant. This podcast presents brief research on vitamin deficiency among vegan and vegetarian pregnant women, as well as the importance of supplementation and how gynecologists can support their patients through nutritional education. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Join us as we taste test non-alcoholic wines and different baby food while chatty about random stuff (we get into Itsy's travels this Summer as well as love languages). It's a fun one that I wish I recorded a video of as well, but I will definitely be doing more of these once I get video recordings done. I also uploaded my podcast presentation for my class as a bonus episode so if you're interested head over to the next episode and listen. Grab a glass and chat with us!

This week we are joined by Javier Fernandez, a fellow 20 something who wanted to share his journey overcoming toxic masculinity in his Latinx family, as well as his growth in recognizing women's struggles and being an ally. He gets into his personal experiences growing up with different father figures, and we even get into the topic of Roe v Wade. I felt so enlightened hearing about his perspective growing up religious but also going through the growth we all get into during our college years. It's a dense one today so I hope you enjoy listening to Javier's journey!

Another solo episode this week! I wanted to take a break from all the job searching to sit down with a glass of wine and chat with you guys. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I am STILL unemployed and living at home with my parents as a 26 year old, but hey I feel like that should be normalized right? This week I get into how I personally feel about still living at home in my late 20s, the pros and cons that made me decide to move back home, and why I believe it is OKAY if you are on the same boat as I am. I also share some data and Instagram interactions about this topic and those in their 20s. So if you are in the same boat as I am and just want to drink some wine while venting about the internal struggles and guilt that comes with still living at home in your 20s, then grab a glass and chat with me!

Mama came out to play today! This week we continue our conversation with Lissien, where we are a couple of glasses of wine in and get SPICY. Lissien talks more about dating/hookups as a single mom, BDSM, and even mentions what her sexual fantasy is... ooooo. Yes it is spicy this week so be warned this episode is NSFW and definitely listener discretion is advised (but I mean if you're a 20 something you know that already lol). We also continue to share San Antonio's sweet red so there's no new wine pairing this week but stay tuned next week for a brand new wine pairing and brand new solo episode!

Introducing Lissien! Lissien is my second 30-something on my podcast and someone I have only known for a few months but feel like I have known for longer! She's a fun soul and definitely was a great time to chat with over a glass of wine. I was so excited when she told me she loves San Antonio wine like I do so we of course opened a bottle of wine together. Our conversation was so great that it has to be a two parter, so for part 1 this week we dive into her journey with spirituality and motherhood. She also ends part 1 on her dating experience as a single mom and gets even spicer the more glasses of wine we drink, so if you loved it stay tuned next week for part 2 where we get more spicy!
