    QOTD: Yo, let’s have it like “The Apprentice” or “Hell’s Kitchen” where 5 contestants run the Wine Library floor for like 2 hours each. Whoever sells the most wine, or the most of a specific “try to sell these wines” wines will win like a cheeseburger. Or a bottle of their choice up to 3,000 dollars or something like that…YEAH! Shoot yeah, the winner will get a Wine Library shopping spree up to 3K and the camera will follow them around and it will be a whole episode of Wine Library TV. That’s hot! I’m sorry if someone already mentioned something like that but my idea is the best best best!
    Hey, GV, when you say “leave a comment on today’s show” you give some extra time for us Vaynerheads overseas right?!

    underneath the football there is clearly another smaller football.

    the next contest should be an internet based choose your own adventure. contestants will have to use their knowledge of the jets/wine/new jersey/belarus etc. in order to choose the correct path from each web page. the winner is the first to get to the endpoint successfully.

  • Deano

  • Heya Gary, just unlurking so I can look myself in the mirror when I brush my teeth 😛
    I’m asking my boyfriend for Earthworks Cabernet Sauvignon for Christmas. I liked the other wine that you likened to big league chew so I thought I’d give this a shot 🙂

    under the football is a paper football

    next contest… pick out a few wines and put together something like the thanksgiving package (i.e. make it available @ WL), allow a certain amount of time, and have people taste and score the wines and send in their tasting notes first, then do an episode where you taste the wines yourself and draw from someone who sent in their comments

    you said when you do episodes on styles of wines you like they tend to be disappointing… how about a pv episode, see if you can break the cycle

  • Great Episode, GV! I hope I can find that Zardini somewhere. You sure know how to sell a wine that’s out of my price range…

    QOTD #1: Under the football is one of the champion paper footballs you used in your almost undefeated history of table football.

    QOTD #2: Contest entrants must design their own spittoon/spit-bucket to reflect their personality, then take a photo of themselves spitting into it.

    Thanks!

    I think there is a wine stain under the football.

    The next contest should be a photo contest. The picture has to have a wine theme. You could narrow down the pics and then have a vote off by us.

  • OK, so now we’re all WLTV “badged up.” But, Gary wants more. More! More! So I’d like to answer his QOTD, “on the QT” :-)……
    The next WLTV contest should require all of us to send Gary a picture with ourselves in it, and it should be required that we all include some sort of WLTV theme/tie-in in our pictures. BUT– each photo should be required to contain at LEAST one family member, or friend, in it. And these folks should also be ID’d in the e-mail that accompanies each picture. We all know that we all doshare Gary and WLTV with our family members and close friends already (I know that I’m always bragging about how much Gary has wine educated me to my friends n’ family :-), so why not? Gary’s job would be to combine all of our pics into a poster, or something, and create a compositesnapshot of just how big the “WLTV Family” really is….people could then buy mugs, a t-shirt, whatever, based on this group photo, in which all of us participants/WLTV family members are present (although we’d all be microscopically sized)!

  • scc

    QOTD: I think having a trip with you to vineyard of your choice. Or maybe a “palate training” session for the winner and a friend (or some family). Something where a lucky vayniac can pick up some knowledge from you in person.
    As far as how to pick that winner (was that what you were really asking??), I don’t really have suggestions for that one. Drawing names I guess works out to be the fairest.
