Day 11 is closed as of 10 p.m. 12/22/12. The next question will be up the morning of 12/23/12!
It's Day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas contest! Check MichiganByTheBottle.com Dec. 12-23 for your chance to win a one of six wine-tastic "virtual stockings" containing gifts donated by Michigan wineries. (Keep reading to see the rules and what's at stake.)
Today's question:
Santa is working on the family Christmas cards, and he's planning to send some of his favorite Michigan wineries. What would you say in a Christmas/holiday card to your favorite Michigan winery?
Email your answer to cort@michiganbythebottle.com by 10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22, for your chance to earn an entry for Day 11. Please use the subject line "12 Days of Christmas: Day 11" and be sure to include your first/last names and your city of residence.
A HUGE THANK YOU to the sponsors of this contest: Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association, Mackinaw Trail Winery, Cascade Winery, Black Star Farms, Chateau Chantal, L. Mawby/M. Lawrence, Verterra Winery, Fenn Valley Vineyards & Wine Cellar, Bowers Harbor Vineyards, St. Julian Winery and Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery!

Here's how it works...
Each morning, Dec. 12-23, we'll post an opinion-based wine question. You'll have until 10 p.m. that night to answer that day's question by emailing the response to us, along with your first/last name and city of residence. You'll earn one entry into the contest for every question you respond to, so it's to your advantage to visit the site daily and send a reply!
You must be at least 21 years old to enter, and fair warning: We may post some of the answers we receive, either during or after the contest, along with your first/last name, on MichiganByTheBottle.com. So the more detail and creative your answers, the happier you will make the MBTB elves!
At the end of the 12 days, we'll draw six people randomly to win the "virtual stockings," each of which includes multiple items ranging from free tasting vouchers to logo swag to special event tickets. The winners will be posted on MichiganByTheBottle.com on Christmas Eve, so make sure to check back to see if you scored some holiday loot!
