Tuesday birthday week giveaway: wine accessories gift pack

And the winner is: Todd, who selected 717; the winning number was 729 (screen shot to the right). Thanks to everyone who participated. Tomorrow’s giveaway is the $50 Wine.com gift card, always one of the most popular prizes, and thanks to Wine.com, a long-time supporter of the cause.
Today, to celebrate the blog’s eighth anniversary, we’re giving away a wine gift accessories pack, courtesy of Wines of Rioja, and which includes the book, “Rioja,” by Ana Fabiano.. This is the second 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.
If you get the blog via email or RSS, you need to go to this exact post on the website to enter (click the link to get there). At about 5 p.m. central today, I’ll go to random.org and generate the winning number. The person whose entry is closest to that number gets the gift pack.
