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

    QOTD: No great ideas for the contest, because I’m not into all the electronic stuff. But I thought the wine cellar episode was great and I think any of the viewers would love winning a collector’s bottle of wine.

    BTY: We don’t all work for GV. Most employers won’t allow access to sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. and since I spend my entire life in the office I can’t participate in most of those things. So whatever the contest, make it accessable to everyone.

    Don’t forget – – Sauvignon Blanc vs. Albarino taste off. Coming up soon I hope!

    QOTD: Have everyone submit wines for tasting (could be a specific region/varietal etc) under a certain price point and you taste them and the one/two that score the highest or that you like the most would be the winner(s).

    QOTD…. I like the contests in general. The prize is not important, we all enjoy winning, no matter what the prize is.

    I think that there is a WLVT wrist band under the football 🙂

    Thanks for a Great show….

    Great show, Gary, as usual. My condolences to your friends’ families. Even if we all took more time with our families and friends, it still wouldn’t be enough. You can never get enough of something you love.
    I couldn’t leave a comment yesterday OR watch the show for that matter as the weather here put out our satellite connection. So your contest rule STINKS!
    Therefore, My great idea for a contest will just have to wait until next time.

    QOTD1: Under the football are Jets tickets.
    QOTD2: The next contest could be for Vayniacs to submit the funnest or most entertaining or educational wine-related story. Winner is taken on a Napa Valley wine tour or producer visits or even better, Tuscany or Bourgogne wine tour :-).

    QOTD #1: Under the Football: One of your BobbleHeads fell over and the head broke off…so either a Dwight Schrute or Gary Vaynerchuk broken BobbleHead head.

    QOTD #2: It seems many people are confused on this…..providing you with what the prize should be rather than what the contest should be. I believe you’re looking for the latter. I like the idea about some kind of WLTV/Gary/Vayniac Trivia Contest. Could be fun having us scour for obscure WLTV details

    Another idea, outside of the contest question….lets call it a new WLTV Feature….I think the time has come for a “Vayniac Hall of Fame” if you will. Not sure how often…perhaps once a quarter you would induct someone into the Vayniac HOF….decided on jointly by you and Mott…and then, moving forward, perhaps previous HOF inductees would get a vote too. There would be some kind of prize for this. While it makes sense to keep the contests open to as many people as possible, this would be a nice way to honor your long time & loyal Vayniacs. You gotta admit…that’s a pretty good friggin’ idea!!! What say you Mr. Vaynerchuk?? 😀

    Congrats to the winner!! At least someone gets airfare, if I’d’ve won it would have been just a car sent to my house, hehe.

    QotD: Got a few ideas here. 1. A WineLibrary Shopping Spree. 2. A “five-finger discount” tour of Gary’s personal cellar [the discount comes in with the couple cases of wine you walk out with]. 3. Gary flies to your hometown and fully caters a top-shelf wine tasting.

    Great show…congrats to the fellow Canadian who won the guest host contest. QotD: Possible contest: how about you reverse the guest host contest? You and Mott pick a name, you go to wherever the winner is from, you go wine shopping together and you taste the results. Everyone likes a road show every once and a while.

    QOTD: Best Video Parody of WLTV’s very own GV. You & Mott can narrow it down to the top 10, and then open up voting for a week or so. Prize: Gotta go with shopping spree at WL, or even better: A case of a fantastically difficult to find wine (that might get absurdly expensive though).

    Next contest…a bingo board – who fills it out first based on a certain amount of episodes – they need to try one of the wines that you have reviewed and save the recipt. Mail it in and win! Something like that – it will make people actually drink more wine rather than just watch you.

    Gary – my contest idea: It should be something that makes people taste wine, as the main goal is to get us to develop our palate & try new things. How about taste 2 wines you’ve never tasted before (preferably varietals you’ve never tasted), post tasting notes on Cork’d, and submit them to you.
