Haven't had any Valpolicella's by those wineries, I do have an '01 La Poja from Allegrini that I hear is supposed to be really good

    I am sure someone already suggested it but, I would love a tour and a shopping spree at the wine library. Would also love if Gary himself helped to pick out the wines….

    qotd: I think the contest should be a random drawing. Designing a shirt or wristband or whatever eliminates those of us who aren’t exactly “artistically inclined” *cough* me *cough* I say you should make the prize a free bottle of wine once a month for a year. Although it’s not that big of a prize, it’s definitely something that will encourage people to expand their horizons. Plus I wouldn’t mind a free bottle of wine every month… 🙂

    QOTD: For a contest, I would like something objective (drawing) rather than subjective (design a webpage / shirt / wristband). Perhaps some sort of time limited trivia quiz about WLTV based on all 360+ episodes that have occurred? You could ask questions about obscure things that were said on old shows. Announce the contests, give us like a month to review the old footage, then give a trivia quiz with someone like 24 hours to respond (long enough to compose an answer, not long enough to watch all the old episodes).

  • Mr.Ambassador

    I agree with the “Wine Library TV knowledge” idea submitted previously. It would be fun to gather knowledge, fun-facts and trivia from past episodes. Too bad there can’t be a WLTV Fantasy Baseball challenge; that would be great.

    Had to make sire I’d be eligible for the next contest anyway!

  • YAY CANADA!!! I hope this means there will be more Canadian wines on WLTV in the near future! 🙂

    QOTD: I think the contest should be related to Cork’d, which seems to have fallen along the wayside lately. Maybe writing reviews and adding tasting notes to Cork’d, along with keeping an up-to-date cellar list. We really need to up the number of wines and bottles on record on that site, otherwise it will just be another “me too” site trying to be like Cellar Tracker.

  • Lindsey

    QOTD: I´m with Daniel O – something Cork´d-related would be cool. As for prizes (note the plural), how about a trip to have a private visit/tasting (with Gary V of course) at one of your favorite wineries?

  • QOTD: I like the theme song idea….and the prize would be out of the US.

    Maybe a trip to EU or AU and a chance to taste at wineries over there.

    or maybe you should come out to where the winner lives, go out to a few of the best restaurants there and then tape a wine show at their place.

    QOTD: Hmmm. Let’s see… It has to be a contest that I have a chance at winning… 🙂
    I guess that means it has to be a random drawing! Ha! How about a “Where in the world is Jason Hicks?” contest?!

    QOTD: Give us low techies a chance. Perhaps a jingle or a catchphrase for a WL OR WLTV promotion.
    Prize could be free shipping for a year or two.

    QOTD- masked tasters from WL all tasting the same wines and giving their masked interpretations. Could be interesting.

  • Darold

    QOTD: Easy. What do you want that you aren’t getting? Video submissions. Make it something easy, something fun. People have to send in a video clip of themselves “training their palate” with a good handful of dirt as part of a 1-3 minute introduction to the THUNDERSHOW. Expect my submission soon.
