And the winner is: Darcy, who selected 475; the winning number was 369 (screenshot to the left). Thanks to everyone who participated. Tomorrow’s giveaway, the final one for Birthday Week, is the cheap wine book — two autographed copies just in time for the holidays.
Today, to celebrate the blog’s seventh anniversary, we’re giving away The VinGarde Valise, the ultimate wine bottle suitcase. In addition, Wine Curmudgeon readers who like VinGarde on its Facebook page between now and next Thursday will get a 10 percent coupon if they buy the luggage through its website. This is the fourth of five daily giveaways; check out this post to see the prizes for the rest of the week.
Complete contest rules are here. Pick a number between 1 and 1,000 and leave it in the comment section of this post. You can’t pick a number someone else has picked, and you need to leave your guess in the comments section of this post — no email entries or entries on other posts. Unless the number is in the comments section of this post, the entry won’t count.
