Winehiker Witiculture


Take my wine - please!

I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest!

Who’s thirsty for free wine? Anyone??

Just curious. After all, I haven’t yet received any submissions since I posted my Review my site, win a case of really good wine contest on May 1st. This is the contest where you, dear reader, have a chance to win a case of wine valued at $500! WOW!!

You don’t even have to own a blog to enter this contest. Yes, you can even review californiawinehikes.com on Amazon.com and still have a chance to win!

But nobody’s submitted any reviews. I feel like the late comedian, Rodney Dangerfield, who once said, “Last week my tie caught on fire, and some guy tried to put it out with an axe.”

Perhaps there has been some confusion about the rules for this contest. I’ll attempt to clarify. My blog, Winehiker Witiculture, is only one part of the California Wine Hikes website. But I’m not seeking reviews of my blog, per se; I’m seeking reviews of my website - the main domain - of which the Winehiker Witiculture blog is only a part. To have a chance at winning, your review should be written about the website, and not strictly about the blog (though a discussion of the blog can be included as part of your review). If your review is judged to be the most well-written website review, pro or con, you will be the grand prize winner. There will also be four additional winners, one each for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th places.

Are you thirsty yet? If so, please submit your review here. For the details, please see my original post.

Take my wine. Please!

    Winehiker, I will be playing. To be honest, I think the 6 month deadline might just be too much time….for us procrastinators and all. Plus, been dealing with a death in the family over the last 2 weeks and haven’t had much time for anything.

    Sonadora, I’ve found myself thinking about the contest period being a little lengthy, but I decided that I should not shorten it now that I’ve set expectations. It just wouldn’t be fair! I’m happy to hear that you’ll be participating.

    (Folks, you got yourself some competition, ’cause I know Sonadora likes her wine. Plus, she can write. But I’m betting you can, too!)
