Winery website

Is the YouTube link broken for anyone else? I'm super curious about the video, and the wine. Anyone have any detailed tasting notes on this?

Is the bottle soft, furry and cuddly?

I don't want to seem ungracious, but the website's a little ... um ... *off-putting* ...

Just a reminder that if you are in Las Vegas this weekend (I passed a dark SUV with a Wine.Woot! sticker on it as well this afternoon/evening) that we are bottling our 2012 CyberPub Blend tomorrow morning (ok, Saturday morning!).

This one has more info:

EDIT: based on the company they're in on that site (the above is an info site for an exporter), I'd have to say this is probably quality juice.

No previous vintages in CT
No real website.
Nothing on winesearcher.com
Nothing on Google

I really hope there is some winery rep(s) coming online because this isn't going to be much of a discussion otherwise. I cant even figure out what the retail price on this is.

Edit: Greyday, right above this post found some info.

Seems to be a connection to Coelho

Go Florida! 7am is not too early to buy wine…

This is a mysterious wine, as others have mentioned I cannot find much information on it. The 2010 vintages in the area are being considered to be a strong year, not 2008 strong, but more in par with 2009. I love wines from this region and am fairly familiar with the wineries throughout the valley, but this one I do not recall. I want to pull he trigger, but something is stopping me

Once again I'm mumbling into my coffee..."this offering should could use a lab rat". I think that was one of the more brilliant and novel ideas in internet wine sales...and I sure do miss it.

How do I know this isn't just some cheap Napa plonk with a fancy label? I hear there is a lot of that going around now.

We need a Donna Summer tribute, not a salt & peppa....

Because.... it's from Oregon?

There were 3 of us with glasses and the bottle was empty before I could get a second glass.

It's a phrase I use when appropriate: quality juice. ...one to try if you like Oregon Pinot.

Ya gotta quit using those 25oz glasses and third filling them on the first pour!

Thank you Neil. This is a very classic example of a premium Oregon Pinot noir (100% Willamette Valley). If there are Pinot lovers out there, the 2010 Plush Pinot noir is not one to be missed! Stock up while you can on the 2010s because once they are gone, you've really missed something great.

Napa plonk?

For one, we are from Oregon's Willamette Valley (live, breath and love the earth and PINOT NOIR)and only handcraft products with the highest artisanal quality standards. Did I mention we use sustainable farming methods?

Buy, cellar, taste or drink and enjoy. This 2010 is the cream of the crop and will continue to evolve in the bottle. Small lot ferments, native yeasts, sur lie, barrel aged, bottled and rested.

If you drink Pinot noir and know what high quality Pinot noir taste like you will not be disappointed. This beautiful varietal of grape is known for its nuances and subtleties, complexity and flavors.

Oregon produces some of the best in the world. Plush is showcasing that.

Another reason for everyone to stock up on this wonderful offer!!! Only 200 cases available!

But equally important, I am an active member in my community and truly have a passion for wine and Oregon!

Thanks, greyday - much more helpful. Still wish there was something out there - anything - specifically about this pricey bottle of purple drank.

I drank a couple bottles of this wine over Easter weekend. It drank very well considering that it is a 2010. The profile is classic WV Pinot and getting it on woot for $30/bottle is a pretty good deal. This wine beats out plenty of $50 bottles, I recommend it.

In the interest of disclosure, I do know the owners. It doesn't change my opinion of the wine; I posted to offer another perspective on the product, take it as you will.

Thanks for coming on board!

On a trip to Oregon with my son, we were in Portland, Willamette, Amity, Astoria, and a touristy town down the coast from Astoria that I can't remember. Loved the land, fishing, the views, and wine. Visited Ann Amie, Lange, and Tori Mor. I'd love to retire there from Ohio.

It's been while since I have Wooted and despite the lack of info and reviews on the winery or vintage I went in for two. Hope it's good for $30/bottle.

I do trust WD not to throw crap on here and label it Black Tie.

You got a point there.

I agree also! Love Oregon Pinot Noir, crossed my fingers, and went in on one.

We'd love to have you retire here as well! It sounds like you had quite the trip. Enjoy the wine!

You won't be disappointed (unless you didn't buy enough. This is the type of wine that you brown bag, place on the table with 3 or 4 others, and pay attention to which one vanishes first!

We do this experiment all the time with Plush (and others)it seems to be the winner more times then not. The SRP on this particular bottle is $50. What a great value for wine.woot! $30 dollars a bottle on wine.woot! may be more expensive then others but you don't want to miss out on the 2010 from Oregon.

Buy 6-12 bottles, cellar them, pull one out every 6 months to a year and see the evolution. If you like the stage of the wine earlier (drink them young)go for it but also enjoy the characteristics and layers of a bottle rested wine.

I wish I could pour samples over the internet! We only have a couple hundred cases or so available. The rest has been sold from the 2516 cases produced. Don't miss out and be forced to buy the 2011s next year!

I have enjoyed previous vintages of Coehlo Pinot Noirs. After the Garagiste debacle, I would be hesitant to make a purchase without tasting. Sorry Sam. Full disclosure, I know nothing about the Plush wine, but I could give plenty of recommendations for $30 Willamette Pinot Noirs.

Let's hear a few of those recommendations...

Sorry to get OT- but I'm interested in hearing about the garagiste debacle...I've been buying from them over the last 3-4 months and have had nothing but positive experiences and great wine...just curious.

As for this offer- sounds great- I love Oregon pinot but don't have the $$ right now to jump in.

*edit* - search is my friend...looks like maybe a bad mystery wine experience from Garagiste? I'll admit, the couple I got were the more disappointing wines of my last pick up.

Out of respect to Sam and his thread, can I pm you my thoughts. Sorry, this is my first foray onto the wine woot community.

I'm always seem to be short on Pinot and I love the ones from Willamette. I'll take a chance...in for 3!

You have been buying from Garagiste for 3-4 months, have you actually taken delivery of any of your orders yet?? It has been my experience that most orders take 6 to 12 months.

Yes- Live in the Seattle area so went and picked up all except a couple orders a few weeks ago.

edit- and just checked- 3-4 months wasn't quite accurate- first order was in December of last year

I bought the wine. I drank the wine... and I fell in love. I refuse to open the second bottle until I have purchased more. Can someone PLEASE direct me on where to buy Plush wine!
