Petra Higby & Priscilla Jimenez

On this week's edition of Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates explores how food and drink become extraordinary gifts to give during the holiday season, and how they can transform into tokens of luxury, thoughtfulness, and lasting memory.

Two remarkable voices join the show: Petra Highby and Priscilla Jimenez.

Petra Higby, CEO and Co-Founder of The Caviar Co., has redefined how Americans experience one of the world's most iconic delicacies. Since launching The Caviar Co. with her sister Saskia in 2015, Petra has made caviar approachable while preserving its luxurious aura. Her company sources sustainable, small-batch roe balancing tradition with innovation.

Joining the show later in the hour is Priscilla Jimenez, known to her audience as The Wannabe Sommelier. With humor and deep knowledge, Priscilla resonates well with her audience - one that has become a loyal following. She makes wine education accessible and fun, with her content demystifying the complexities of wine while offering expert-level insight, approachable reviews, pairing suggestions, and tasting notes resonating across multiple experience levels. Her philosophy is a simple yet powerful one - wine should be a source of joy and connection, not intimidation.
