Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[Kohen]

Re: Wendouree 2016 allocations

Received my list today - 6 bottle max on shiraz, no limits on others

Pricing hasn't changed - much $60 for Shiraz, $45 for Shiraz Mat, Shiraz Malbec, Malbec, $55 Cab & Cab Malbec, $25 for Muscat

Can anyone remember the coding - I have black signature ???

New vintec can't come soon enough!

Thanks for that Kohen. I'll have to check my letter box today

The Shiraz is always a 6 bottle limit.

There's a good coverage here of what the crayon markings mean:

Mine has red crayon this year - last year (my first) had no crayon

 

[Steady]

No crayon is the norm for new people. Ideally you want a red or black crayon. This will come in the years ahead.

This is nice to know

 

[Whodoesthat]

Yes Steady, red means you should get all or at least most of what you have requested...

Nothing in my mailbox today, anyone else in Sydney received the mail?

Still waiting for the post to arrive for today in Wollongong.

They often do orders/mailings on a state by state basis and vary the order of these each year.

Update: Post for today arrived - no Wendouree letter

 

[afro]

i think the mail will take longer from now, since austpost "slowed" down their service further to reduce cost.

Mine's arrived today with a red crayon mark. I'm stoked

Now...what to order besides the shiraz.

 

[Steady]

I got mine back to the post office the same day - a few extra for me this year.....

 

[Katy]

Still nothing here

Perhaps the Wendouree letter is aligning itself with my exam results arriving tomorrow

 

[Dr Ralph]

It's Wendouree time!

How sure of that are you. I've got red and it's only my third year on the list. Have previously ordered 6 of everything but would be in trouble if I actually go that much!

It depends on how many people place orders.

Red isn't first on the list. A hand written signature is first on the list.

But red is up there. You should expect to get most if not all of what you order if you are red crayon.

When I have been red I've received everything I asked for except no Cabernet one year as it had already sold out.

Oh well...If I end up with 36 bottles I will count my blessings and work out how to share anything I don't want to keep.

There's always the chuck it on Langton's/auction option.

I would be very happy to help you out, if you are in Sydney. Just PM me if you need to share some of the spoils.

Nothing here yet, but I haven't been home.

The cleaning lady has been taking the mail into the house, but unfortunately she doesn't open it and send PDFs through.

Naturally PO Box mail is sitting in my PO Box.
