Under the football? The Knicks chances of making the playoffs, very, very, small.

Good show Gary! You sure make that Zardini sound tempting, but I already ran past my wine budget red light without slowing down, and I don’t want to lose my license. Maybe next month.

QOTD: Winner of the come-up-with-a-contest question wins the contest!

Under the football – the infamous Clef du Vin (”Age your wine one year in a second!”).

Contest – Fill an oak barrel at Crushpad with corks and the prize goes to whoever gets closest to the total.

I love Valpo, just haven’t tried any lately. You can be damn sure I’m gonna get me some of that Zardini. I love that you did Valpo today. Some other ideas for episodes… Mosel Saar Ruwer Kabinetts vs. Australian Reisling; Finger Lake or Long Island Cab Franc versus Loire; Savenierres – I’ve never had one but would love to hear your take on a couple of them.

QOTD – I think there is a wine screw cap under the football
QOTD2 – Did you mean what should the contest be? Maybe it could be a contest to design the butter bandit t-shirt.

QOTD #1: Under the football, new wristband.

QOTD #2: First person to guess a number you pick from 1 to 10,000. Better yet, everyone sends in a picture wearing their WLTV shirt in an interesting place, the most interesting photo wins.

Actually I think a job offer at WL as your assistant, learning the ropes of the industry would be a pretty awesome prize – of course I’m not sure how realistic that is.

Maybe just a few personal wine lessons.

Gary,
You were right on Nightline when you said this show isn’t about wine, its about life. You always keep things in perspective and I appreciate how uplifting watching your show can be. Two nights ago my wife and I were discussing when we would take our three month old daughter to the mall to get her picture taken with Santa. Luckily we didn’t decide on yesterday because we would have taken her a mile down the street to the westroads mall were Santa’s village is set up right in front of the von maur. It was a tough day for many of us here in Omaha as we shared similar stories about having just been there or our plans to go there soon and how it could have just as easily been us or someone we loved. Watching WLTV has been especially enjoyable the last two days as a break from the non-stop local coverage of this horrible event. After watching this episode I went up to my daughter’s room, pulled her out of her crib and just held her and stared at her in the dark for half an hour. I can’t recall the last time I was as overwhelmed by love as I was tonight.
From my family to yours (and all the vayniacs)…cheers.

QOTD: The chance to work at Winelibrary for a day if you submit best new WLTV salutation
We’ll keep the “you with a little bit of me, changing the wine world” but just for the contest a new tag line. Whatever. I’m beat. Brain not even engaged. Reffed 7 high school soccer(football) matches this week and my dogs are tired. What’s my name?

QOTD: A wine quiz: 10 questions that you have answered on the show during the past year. Random drawing among the ones with the most correct answers.
What’s under the football? A new t-shirt with some kind of logo you were excited about the other day. I can’t put my finger on it though.

Never until today have I wanted to be Canadian.

Qotd #1 – I think it’s a WLTV Wristband. (I wore mine with pride in Cancun – photo is in my wife’s camera – I promise to e-mail.)

Qotd #2 – Best WLTV Theme Song (Intro Song)!

And the winner gets $10,000 of free wine – or maybe just free shipping for life! Either one of those and people will never miss another episode or not post again!

Good episode, and family is #1.

Q1: GV’s prediction for Heisman trophy is under the football

Q2: Next contest is creating a vlog hotter than JenniferS’s, wine/WLTV related (takes me out of the running, tho’ – but ‘twould be too much for back-to-back Canuck winners anyway)
Prize: First – Jay comes to winner’s house and builds a wine cellar + no trip to Joisey
Second: Shopping cart full of wines from WLTV, selected on a sponsored trip to Joisey, + tix to a Devils game.

QOTD: Next contest should involve the Cork’d site in some way, perhaps to add bottles to the database and review bottles. Great way to launch the new features that you guys are developing for Cork’d.

Awesome show, Gary! I tried my first Valpolicella about 2 weeks ago, and I liked it. I think I am a bit partial to Italian wines anyway, but thanks for giving me a couple more to hunt for.

QOTD: I think that the next contest should be something to do with facebook and your ask Gary V application! I post in there every now and then, so why not? It will get a lot more people to join up. If not FB, then perhaps something to do with a photograph of a Vayniac in a some public place doing something significant wearing the wristband. I think that would be radool….

QOTD: My idea comes from the wine pack that you sent out over Thanksgiving, which seemed really popular. You set up another 3 wine pack that people can buy. The contest is that they have to make a video tasting the three wines and send you a link to where its uploaded. Anyone who does it gets entered to come on your show and taste the same three wines with you. Plus after the contest is over you can link up all your favorite ones for all of vaynernation to see. You could set some limits that it has to be between 5-10 or 10-15 minutes and has to involve at least a sniffy-sniff and tasty-taste of each wine.

I didn’t win?!! So sad…Hey, I went to a wedding this past weekend and they were serving a Valpolicella, and on the nose, was BARNYARD! Old world all the way-and went great with the food. I forget the label though…the party got a little crazy.
QOTD: the next winner gets to come to WL and pick out a bottle-ANY bottle that you have in stock.
