Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[shep3369]

Card charged for what looks like a full order (only a mixed 6). Red crayon, NSW

Lucky to recently have a taster of the Shiraz from a previous vintage and it was brilliant!

Saw that a local fine wine cellars has an allocation so popped in however the pricing on the 5 varieties was at least 2-3x RRP... I just couldn't do it...

I think I will try to put my name in the hat for future years down the track.

You just need patience, if you sign up, you will get there eventually

Did you only ask for the Shiraz Last year? If you only ask for the Shiraz and the straight Cab (when there is one) you won’t get much love. I put down for 6 of each (besides the dessert) and “normally“ get taken care of.

Every year, I've asked for 6 of everything except the dessert wine.

If you try to figure out how they do things your brain will explode… haha

I just hope and pray I will get something now.

Anyone get their CC hit today ?

 

[Steady]

Not I

Erin Larkin sung praises on the '21s today. Not a wine advocate subscriber so don't know what points she gave them

Mine did, but it wasn't for Wendouree. (the wife shopping somewhere!)

On more serious side, I see that in the last year some cards were still being hit in the first week of September. So given the manual and unpredictable nature of the processing and ever growing demand, I would not panic just yet. I hear that they ran out of Mataro already and almost out of CabSav, so lets see what turns up (if any).

I gave up trying to figure out how they operate in Clare. Some years ago, they said it doesn't matter how quickly one returns their form.

It doesn't look like it - mine was delivered to Clare PO on 12/7. I think some of you folks must've returned your form much sooner than me.

A friend just got hit in Melbourne for $809 …

Still waiting on mine
