Before we descend into the contesty abyss for today's subject, I'd like to direct your attention to this excellent article on how growers actually get their vines, by Derrick Schneider (publisher of the blog An Obsession With Food). Also, a shout out to Sonadora at Wannabe Wino for helping to spread the word about our little contest!
Now... when we say "up to 100 words", what we mean is somewhere between zero and 100 words. The problem with going over 100 words is that we'd have to make the typeface so small that even a test pilot would have to wear glasses to read it! But we're not really looking at the word count - the winning entry could be as few as five words, like our 2005 Tempranillo back label shown here. (And if you have an idea of a graphical nature, go with it! Just be sure it can be rendered as white on a dark background.)
Remember, the cutoff is March 18th!
