SOMMELIER & DENVER WESTWORD WRITER KENDRA ANDERSON (Forkly: @swirlgirldenver)

Kendra Anderson is Swirl Girl Denver, a professional chef, an advanced sommelier and the creator/author of Swirl Girl, Denver Westword’s weekly wine and lifestyle column. With Kendra’s Forkly posts and wine pairings, users get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the sommelier lifestyle — specifically, rich and flavorful dishes paired with wines from around the world.

“I love using Forkly, not only to share great wine and food experiences with people all around the world, but it’s also become my favorite tool for tracking wines I’ve tasted and the pairings I’d recommend with them. Forkly rocks!”

Regional winemakers and sommeliers are working hard to get Colorado’s wines on the global map. And Kendra is no exception. Next week to whet appetites for Colorado’s 2012 Drink Local Wine Convention & June’s Colorado Urban Winefest, Denver’s Row14 Bistro & Wine Bar is hosting an evening with Kendra, “Colorado Wine vs. The World.”

You can read more information on the history of Colorado’s wine in an article here, by Local Winos Magazine editor Jacob Harkins.
