About this podcast
Two generations. One bottle. Zero filters.
Welcome to Gen Whine: Gen Z Meets Gen X — the podcast where a sarcastic Gen X wine aunt (Tara) and her skincare-obsessed Gen Z wine nephew (Tyler) spill real talk over real pours. We’re tackling everything from internet chaos and 90s nostalgia to side hustles, self-care, and WTF moments in between.
If you’ve ever felt too old for TikTok but too young for early bird specials, this show is your happy hour.
🍷 Come for the wine.
💬 Stay for the hot takes.
🎙 Laugh, cringe, and maybe cry a little (but like… cute crying).
New episodes biweekly.
