[Bonus Episode] The Buzz on Natural Wine with Todd White

Our guest today is Todd White, bio-hacker and founder of Dry Farm Wines. Todd joins JJ to talk about the wine industry and the little-known secrets that may be causing unwanted side effects when you indulge in a glass or two.

Built on a foundation of honesty and peace, Dry Farm Wines sources pure Natural Wines and lab tests them to ensure each bottle is sugar-free (0-0.15g per glass), lower in sulfites, and lower in alcohol (under 12.5% alc/vol). And, the wines are friendly to low carb, Paleo, ketogenic, and low sugar diets.
