Wine Fellas is your wine club for small allocation, hard to find, natural wines from around the world. They specialize in organic and biodynamic wines that are made using traditional wine making methods, but with minimal interventions. They’re free of added sugar and chemical additives. They’re low in sulfites. They’re bottling the wine world describes as “natural wines.” These are wines as they were meant to be enjoyed, with nothing standing between you and pure, expressive fruit.<br> <br> What I love most about Wine Fellas, aside from the fact that they only source the best, natural wines in the world, but they also go the extra mile by giving you a fact sheet on each bottle that contains authentic alcohol content, residual sugars, sulfur dioxide in parts per million, pH, and acidity.

I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia. And I am thrilled to have you all with me today. Today is a special interview, because it’s a reverse interview. What the heck is a reverse interview? If you're a new listener here, I’ll briefly describe it. It’s where Fed and Fit listener, reader {laughs} I was going to say follower, someone who follows the work in some regard.

With the hopes that the conversation then benefits a bunch of folks. And I have a feeling today’s will.<br> <br> So today we’re chatting with Kendra. She lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Welcome to the show! <br> <br> Kendra: Thank you! I’m so excited to be on. Thank you for having me.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Thank you so much for making the time to come on. I’m thrilled to chat with you. I was going to ask her before I started recording; are you a Packers fan? <br> <br> Kendra: It’s actually a funny story. I’m originally from Minnesota, and my teenage rebellion I always say is that I became a Packers fan, because my whole family is Vikings fan. So it’s kind of ironic that my husband and I ended up moving to Green Bay last year for his job. So I am a Packer fan in a divided household in Green Bay. {laughs} <br> <br> Cassy Joy: Oh, that is hysterical! I am a Packers fan with no ties to Green Bay at all. {laughs} <br> <br> Kendra: {laughs} That was me until last year. And then randomly we just ended up moving here. <br> <br> Cassy Joy: That is so funny. We were always; I might have shared this story before. Sorry about the tangent. I just; they have a special place in my heart. My family, there’s three of us girls. We all went to Texas A&amp;M University. And we all really love college football. That is my jam. But as soon as college football season was over, my sisters and I kind of became disinterested in sports. {laughs} And my dad; it was just so funny because he really loved those football days when we’...
