LIVE from Great Harvest with owner/baker Tim Herren, we’ll be telling you all about this creative family run business and not only all the great bread they bake, but all the products, sweets, sandwiches and more!

Great Harvest handcrafts bread, sweets and sandwichs daily using only pure and simple ingredients. Each morning we fresh-grind premium whole wheat in the bakery and blend it with ingredients from nature, like yeast, salt and local honey. Great Harvest never uses chemicals or additives. The result is bread that tastes simply amazing.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2010 Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay
Beringer’s Napa Valley Chardonnay is a quintessential expression of this beautiful varietal and the depth of flavors it can exhibit. Flavors of ripe citrus and apple are accented by aromas of toffee, tangerines and orange blossom. The mouth-coating, round texture highlights the rich flavors, all balanced by bright, refreshing notes that linger into the finish.

WOW – Guy loves this wine, it may be one of the best Napa vintages from this stalwart for years, and there hasn’t been a loser in the batch up to this point.  I would rate this wine a 93 of 100, and it’s sure to get all manner of Best Buy, Editors Choice awards in the near future!
