In this episode of Goddess Uncorked, we explore the Cold Moon—the last full moon of the year—and its reflective energy, connecting it to the traditions and stories of Asia’s ancient wine regions. From Japan’s Koshu grapes to China’s Dragon Seal vineyard, Korea’s fruit wines, and Thailand’s tropical vintages, we uncover how wine connects us to the land, the seasons, and the people who made it. Sip, reflect, and discover your own ritual as we honor what we release and welcome new possibilities for the year ahead.

n this second segment of our Cork & Culture series, we explore how transformation mirrors fermentation — slow, intentional, and deeply rooted in patience. From the vineyards and kitchens of Africa to the quiet growth within our own lives, this conversation is about honoring the unseen process of creation — in the land and in the spirit.

Join Xena as we journey through the stories of African wines, ancestral traditions, and soulful lessons that remind us that every season, every flavor, and every breath is part of a greater becoming.

Welcome to the Cork & Culture series —
a sensual, soulful space where we sip through regions, reflect on roots, and explore how wine, food, and environment shape who we are.

Here, food and wine meet personal reflection.
Through sips of regional wines and bites of culture-rich dishes, we trace the emotional and ancestral flavors that live in both our plates and our stories.

In each episode, Zena brings curiosity to the table, pairing wines from across the globe with insight from within. This isn’t just about what we’re drinking or eating — it’s about what we’re becoming.
