My guest this week is Sandra Denneler a local Wichita gal who is a big contributor to www.sheknows.com a cool web site with lots of helpful info, including some great food and entertaining tips. Sandra has some great ideas for holiday entertaining and gift giving.
Growing up, Sandra Denneler’s favorite book was the 1973 World Book Encyclopedia’s Childcraft Volume 11, Make and Do. She’s been making and doing her entire life. An art director at Wichita State University, Sandra also enjoys creating edible art in her kitchen. Her son, Gus, and daughter, Bea, are completely unimpressed with her crazy baking skills. If given the choice, they would rather eat an Oreo cookie. Sandra and her super-talented, woodworker-hobbyist-husband, Eric, have made a fun home together in Wichita, Kansas and do creative projects that can be seen on their blog, Project Denneler. You can also follow Sandra on Twitter @sdenneler.

In the second half, Barefoot Winemaker Jennifer Wall joins us for the Wine of the Week to talk about bubbles for the holidays. Jenn has been making wine since 1991, and started at Barefoot in 1995. The Gallo family purchased Barefoot in 2005 and wisely kept Jennifer as winemaker. The following years saw great expansion in wines produced under the Barefoot label, including the addition of Barefoot Bubbly. The awards continue to pour in for both Barefoot still wines as well as the sparkling line – with thousands of medals awarded, Barefoot is the most awarded wine brand in U.S. competitions. One of the most dedicated, award winning winemakers in California, Jennifer’s wines continue to receive numerous Gold and Double Gold medals along with the adoration of millions of wine loving fans affectionately known as “Barefooters!”
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Something fun for holiday entertaining – how about a little bubbly 🙂
Bubbles make anyday a celebration – If your looking for a great buy to entertain for the holidays, these both have the Good Life Guy seal of approval!
NV Barefoot Brut Cuvee
Green apple, jasmine, hints of kiwi and peach flavors bubble up for a crisp finish. Bubbling with aromas of Chardonnay, this is a dry style with solid fruit and unique swallowability .
NV Barefoot Extra Dry
Delightful apple flavors and a smooth finish make for a gold medal winner (seriously). This sparkler has a hint of sweetness but great acidity and an easy drinking style.
Buy it by the case at Jacob Liquor Exchange!
