  • QOTD: My first thought was a Vayniac Cab Label design contest, but since a lot of others said the same thing, I’ll keep thinking.

    QOTD: What about a WLTV trivia application on Facebook? I see people with movie, tv, and other various topic ones all the time (and how they’re doing shows up in the mini-feed). But it would require people to watch more episodes of WLTV to know the answers.

    QOTD 1 A paper football autographed by a Jets player

    QOTD 2 Produce the Front label for the Vanyac Cab. WL staff pick the top three to five finalists (any info required by law for the label can be posted), then the Vanyacs pick the winner. The winner gets the grand prize. One person who voted for the winner is chosen at random to get a bottle of the Vanyac Cab (or pick until you get to one who can be shipped the bottle or who is willing to come pick it up). (Or two contests, for Front and back label!)

    QOTD #1: Under the football is a corkscrew with a WLTV logo…the next schwag.

    QOTD: Hmm… What if the winner of the next contest got to go on a wine buying/tasting trip to some major wine-producing region (either in the U.S. or overseas). I’m not sure how big you want to go with the next contest, but a trip to some place in France, Italy, Argentina, Australia, etc. would definitely be a pretty big deal for most people.

  • Shane

    QOTD: World Pencil War Championship for pink slips! Or T-shirt Design Contest or Vayniac Cab Label Design Comp or Table Football Playoff to the death! Whatever.

  • Kirk

    QOTD: I agree….host a tasting party. Video tape it…and send it in. It could be an alternate airing episode for WLTV when Gary has busy days….the prize? The winner should be flown on a 1 week (7 days 6 nights) trip to wine country travel of their choice. Burgundy, Germany, Spain, Australia, wherever!

    I like the idea of the contest being the label design for the Vayniac Cab – should be a fun project with (hopefully) an online vote from all the purchasers to pick the winner…

    QOTD: GaryV comes to a Vayniac’s residence (along with Anti the Mottster) and films a WLTV episode!

  • QOTD: Contest idea: I think people should send in pictures of themselves dressed as the Oak Monster or the Butter Bandit, and you pick the best one, or better yet, let the Vayniacs vote on the best one with their comments. (And you decide the prize – but everyone here loves great wine, hint hint.) Think of the photo montages you could do with all the runner ups in their best OM / BB poses…

    I’ve recently become addicted to valpolicella superiores, so my new task is to track down some of that zardini!

    QOTD: how about a bottle-decorating contest? Or, it could be a contest for best one-sentence description of a wine. Oh, wait, that’s the contest, not a prize. Hmmmm, you know what I’d love to do? I’d love to visit a wine critic during a day of tasting, to see how the process works and to get a chance to watch a pro taste and spit. Another idea of a wine-geek type prize would be a weekend seminar or sommelier class.

    Another entertaining and educational show…we haven’t tried Valpolcello and we will have to soon. You use Firefox on a Mac, alright! Congrats to the winners,BTW!

    QOTD: Next contest – are you asking about the prize or how you win?
    For a prize, the wine of your choice, maybe. What about “What’s under the football”?

  • I like the Vayniac Cabernet label design contest idea too. But…. I sorta think designing that label should be a privilege reserved for the Vayniac Cab family (the bottle buyers, the Crushpad members). Fence-sitters and WLTV lurkers who only surface for contests shouldn’t get to weigh in on such a momentous, historic development in the evolution of wine. But that’s just my $0.02. I could be wrong. I’m often wrong. In fact, I’m probably wrong about something somewhere at this very minute.
