My contest idea should not involve blogs or adding badges to websites. My site is professional as is my blog and putting anything about wine on it would have negative repercussions. I would suggest the best descriptor of a wine that you can feature but one you already know rather than a crapshoot.
This was a sad week for Austrian wines as Alois Kracher was one of the best, died way too young of pancreatic cancer (not a good way to go) and still has youngish children, and there is no one in his family to my knowledge who can carry on his tradition.
The Valpolicellas in this episode especially the Zardini will go in my collection. Thanks

QOTD: It should be a creation of a short, very short intro (not everyone likes intros) for the thundershow.

Also under the football is a new wristband.

Under the football? A screw top cap?
Contest…. a referal contest.. must refer at least one new viewer. Prize… complimentary Vayniac Cab share.
Oh…. and btw… I’m done guessing what’s under the football.

great show….QOTD…small triangle paper football…FYI…I would throw a smackdown on you in table top football….was gonna go pro with that…..

Contest winner should get to go on a wine trip to bordeaux with you for 2006 tastings…

Contest should be who can make the best 1 minute WLTV video….

QOTD: Did anyone ever design something for the Butter Bandit? Next contest! I like the shopping spree idea at WLTV, that would be hilarious to watch!

Under the football…tickets to the superbowl!

Great ep Gary. Nice to see you back to form, and being quite generous as I might add.

First QOTD: If it were a little earlier in the season I would have to guess a christmas ornament with some sort of WLTV schwagg on it. What a great gift to get or give to that Vayniak.

Second QOTD: Not sure what the contest should be, but I am sure some the ideas mentioned already would make great contests.

A WINE LIMERICK CONTEST….beginning with “A man from New Jersey named Gary….” You’ve convinced me – I’ll have to try that Zardini.

A WINE LIMERICK CONTEST….beginning with “A man from New Jersey named Gary….” You’ve convinced me – I’ll have to try that Zardini.

Fun show… OK… so 2 questions:

QOTD #1 (Under the football): Your Jets season tickets for next year! HA!

QOTD #2 (New Contest): Refer a friend contest. Give people a 3 days to see how many people they can refer. You can use the WLTV forum to validated if they have signed up since it checks your email to be valid. The person with the most referals gets a prize. Examples of prizes can be 2 of your favorite wines, free tickets to the Jets game, etc…

The thing i like about this contest is that it would promote WLTV and also get those luckers out in the open.

Cheers!

Under the football, tickets to the Superbowl with you.

QOTD: Who has brought the most bottles of wine over the last say 3 months at the lowest price per bottle. This QOTD has me a going….. Like, you would have to have the highest bottle count brought with the lowest average price. You would have to have both to win. Talk about marketing………. NO NO NO, you would piss off a lot of Vayniacs with that idea…..forget it….:):):):):):)

Good idea though!!!!!!!

QOTD: Under the football, a shopping spree to WLTV

QOTD2: Contest, 15 second show intro’s.

QOTD: Next contest – Who can order the most wine from winelibrary.com. I think that might be good for business…

Oh Canada, congrads on the super win!

Under the football?? New wristband design, to be sent out to all Vayniac fans.

Next contest: Best impersonation of GV and a Wine Library TV show.

QOTD: See who can make the most publicity about drinking wine, or who can introduce the most new people to wine, something like that. That way we can all change the wine world!

Oh and congrats to the winner of the compo. I would have entered but I’m only 18 so if I flew to the US I wouldn’t have been able to drink the wine! Damn I wish I could have won that though. I’ve never even visted the US

For the next contest, you should go, with the winner, to somewhere like Piedmont, Burgundy, etc. and shoot an episode of WLTV from there tasting wines from that region.

Gary- Which football team do you cheer for???????? wink wink !!!
🙂

Hi Gary,

Under the football….. An action figure…!!!

The contest……… you have one bottle of wine over a certain period of time and at a certian price range… $30-$40 for example or any bottle over $50…etc. which will have a gold sticker under the lead foil cap which you have made special for the contest and “only you” will know where it is and when it is sold etc….. and you can restrict it to Internet sales only…… or in store purchases or both.

The prize……. a First Class weekend trip to the final party for the Vayniac Cab at Crush Pad in San Francisco and a special wine dinner at Gary Danko with you the night before.

I think the next contest should be for lurkers only! OH WAIT, THAT WOULD DISQUALIFY ME BECAUSE I’M NO LONGER A LURKER! BUT IF I DIDN’T POST HERE I WOULDN’T BE QUALIFIED! Darn, a Catch 22 contest.

Hey Gary
Great episode – I am going to have some Valipolicella tonight actually.

I will try and think up a good contest for ya.

J DUB

Great Episode!!!
QOTD: How about a video intro to WLTV

Great episode Gary. COngrats to the winners!!!!!!!

I think I have had a glass of valipolicella in my wine drinking infancy. I remember really liking it, but not being able to remember what it was called!! Hope it wasnt the bolla 🙁

QOTD #1. THe thudner cat with the Jets jersey on???

QOTD #2. I like the idea I heard above about being there for the final party for the Vayniac Cab at Crush Pad. WIth maybe a 1st runner up getting a case of the wine??

jason

Under the football- Car keys?

Next contest: How about entering everyone who posts a wine tasting note on the forums or corkd and taking the winner to any wine region for a tasting?

Under the football – a Thundercat
Next Contest – Best food & wine pairing combination – cooked by the submitter (no help from spouses or friends or vendors)… winner has to put / cook the pairing together live!
