Over8ed. I asked them to remove me from the list a year ago, but I got the rejection letter. Thanks but no thanks. Anybody wanting my 2009 GOK can have it for what I paid at Total wines. So many great wines to play this marketing game. I guess I need to unsubscribe too.


Is it really a marketing game? that would imply they have the wine but don't wanna sell it to people.. or is it really just high demand and not enough supply?

I don't think they have trucks full of wine that they can't sell and drumming up 'perceived' demand by limiting people?

It isn't a marketing game.

Trevor and Christophe are above board; they actually handle the manner of allocations in a very fair way in my opinion, ensuring wait list always gets some decent allocation each year for new people to be added to the active list.

There are a lot of names on the wait list for limited production. No different than SQN, Alban, or any other cult Rhone styled wine.

Status: offline 		I personally have the utmost respect for them and have said before in relation to them and their neighbors that I do not begrudge them making a good return. After all they are in the business to make money, and they produce a product that gets rave reviews. I also commend not boosting the price to the secondary market levels. Other than a single bottle of Lafitte, Cayuse are the only wines in my cellar that are worth more than I paid for them. I am on the downward slope for buying ageable wines. If I were the age of my kids, I would wait and enjoy the payoff. I am on the cusp for next year, but drinking will probably be reserved for the family. I hope they like them. My wife will say, "sell and buy some good chard or pinot gris."

Another thing I forgot to mention...

They actually do right by their employees, animals, and the Earth. While many vineyards use migrant workers for Pruning/Harvest, Cayuse keeps their crew on payroll year round. I'm sure there is always something to do project/maintenance/upkeep wise, but this is a big commitment. They also till with Draft horses several of the vineyards, and have on-site horses, pigs, etc. as part of their Biodynamic commitment.

Everyone's mileage may vary regarding perceived QPR, but I think they are more than just prices and scores, and I like them for it.

Oh I did not know that about the year round labor -- that makes me like the wines even more!

My experience with Cayuse is several of the '07 Syrahs, an '03 En Chamberlain, and the '08 Bionic Frog. I've also had the '09 God Only Knows, (disappointed). All the Syrahs were wonderful, and the Bionic Frog was the best New World red I have had to date.

I agree Scott. I am much more inclined to buy from those who are good stewards of the land and who treat those who toil for them fairly. I believe that Shafer and Schramsberg in Napa do as well.

I really cannot afford either, so need to cut back which hasn't happened for some strange reason. But I will not buy anything on Berserker Day.

Yeah, I'm not buying anything on BD either...

Still no Cayuse here.
