Anybody else receive this email today?

We much appreciate your patience and understanding, and have added your name to our wait list. If any extra bottles become available, we will contact you--as we look forward to welcoming you to our No Girls mailing list as soon as possible.

I responded to their initial release offer within minutes. I wonder if those already on Cayuse mailing list were preferentially bumped up. Any thoughts? Anyone get a different letter? This was the response I received when I signed up. I thought for sure I was in.

Congratulations!   Thank-you for your interest in our wines!

We are currently planning to release the wines in February, 2012. We will contact you as soon as they become available.



Looks familiar alright.

Maybe they'll offer me some half-empty bottles, or some used corks

I got my SQN allocation faster than Cayuse.
Looking forward to turning down my allocation when (more likely if) I ever make the list.

Has anyone actually been allocated wine?
Or is this just another urban myth ... a publicity scam?
Scott ... enquiring minds want to know.

A friend of mine got an allocation, myself and several others did not. I can't remember exactly how fast I signed up but it was almost immediately.

I haven't wanted to bother Trevor over it, I'm sure his email lit up like Christmas tree with all the grumpy people. I'm bummed, but at the end of the day it is what it is. More time and money to stalk other winemakers...

I hope that helps some folks. I don't remember racing to the pc to sign up so I must have just been sitting in front of the pc when it came in. It sounds like if you didn't sign up within the first day, maybe even the first few hours, you did not get it.

Status: offline 		Cant recall a young winery getting those types of scores that early. No Girls higher than all of the Cayuse is quite a surprise.

Got a three pack of both and looking forward to trying them soon. Hate to crack them too early but sounds like it would be worth it

Status: offline 		I am on the NG list as well - David Schildnecht (WA) did NOT rate NG higher than most of the Cayuse wines, which received the highest scores on any WA wine - but David DID rate them very well (92-94). Given David's conservatism in scoring, am looking forward to trying the wines.
