Hiya Piyas!
In honor of Green Dog Wine turning 1 – I thought I would “grace” you with my first ever…VIDEO!
A few things to note:
- It was my first video!!!
- Lando was supposed to be in the video, but instead started whining at the door, so I had to let her out!
- If the video starts freezing – pause it for a minute – some of the faces I’m making when it freezes are scary!
Enjoy!
Here’s how you can enter! (Everyone has up to 5 chances to win!)
- Leave a comment telling me something you’ve learned from Green Dog Wine over the past year (worth 1 entry)
- Link back to the contest, making sure that you pingback, or leave me a comment, telling me you did so! (worth 1 entry)
- Add me to your blogroll (worth 2 entries)
- Follow me on Twitter/RT this giveaway post – I’m @greendogwine (worth 1 entry)
The deadline for all entries is NOON (EST) on Friday – September 25th! The winner will be announced sometime Saturday evening!
GOOD LUCK!

**Something I’ve learned from GDW = How to just love life and have fun; and how great of a real-life friend you are

I have learned that hot sauce is not the emeny. I was afraid to try it because of it’s hotness, but because you loved it so much and put it on everything I figuered it couldn’t be that bad. Now I am in love with all things hot and spicy, I kid you not. If it doesn’t set off a fire in my mouth it’s not hot enough.
You have the best accent!!

The food scale is something I have been needing/wanting for literally FOREVER. This is seriously the most impact-ful prize ever and really speaks to your motto to promote healthy living!
From Green Dog Wine, I have learned that is is possible to eat oats SAVORY every morning and make them look like boobs to brighten up your day anytime! hahaha I also love that you love spicy food….and you give me ideas of how to “spice” up my food combinations AND what new products to try!
Gosh, i would love popchips. I’ve only tried 2, but salt and pepper is my favorite!!! Or maybe BBQ.
