Before I made the Cayuse list in 2015 I tried GOK from purchases friends made from the 2007-2010 vintages. I wasn’t a big fan of those. The extraction dial was set very high and the wines came across too spoofy. The 2013-2016s are anything but that. Pleasant surprise, and eye poppers after a few years of rest.
Still no Pig or Frog love for me… Got granted The Lovers though, although I don’t even remember why I asked for this one. Still trying to get the Widow Maker too.
Was granted the Pig this year after 12 years.
I got the Pig this year, too, after wishlisting it every year since 2014. With the granting of the Pig, I maybe have finally attained my perfect Cayuse allocation, with Pig, Frog, Armada, and Chamberlin. … mildly tempted to put Cailloux and/or Cerise back on my wishlist, and all these positive comments about the GOK have me wondering about that one now, too.
Shut out this year it appears.
Got the Viognier wish-listed
First time wish list granted for The Lovers after years and years.
How does the wish list / allocation work for next year?
For example I had been allocated Cailloux and Armada. Skipped Cailloux and ordered Armada, wish listed everything and got Lovers and Camaspello. So am I correct to assume that next years allocation will be Armada, Lovers and Camaspello and I will lose Cailloux because I skipped it? Or am I just making all this up
My understanding is that you are correct – i.e. that next year you will be offered Armada, Lovers, and Camaspelo.
thank you to Cayuse for the Pig wish fulfilled
been a long time client and I’ve always loved the Pig I’ve found second hand
looking forward to enjoying this first hand
I had no luck on the wishlist, but it seems like they are doing more retail distribution than in past years. I have gotten offers from a couple of different retailers.
