Lucky you!! Still waiting here.....3rd year on list, 1st year orderer. I ordered a mixed 6 pack including 2 x Muscat hoping to be viewed favourably....

CC got hit yesterday, $854. Who knows what will turn up.

It looks like crayon means nothing anymore (red).

My card got hit for the same amount. Red crayon Melbourne.

This is a friends breakdown of the order he received… I can’t figure out mine at all. Just have to wait and see.

If you get 6 Shiraz and 6 in total of (Cab Sav and/or Cab Malbec) that’s exactly that order . $44 for shipping and insurance.

I just called, only Cabernet Malbec left and they are trying to stretch out what is remaining to supply everyone something.....I imagine as a newbie I'll be lucky to get a single bottle.

Starting to reside to the fact that the cow didn't do its business in my square this year (red crayon, 10+ years...)

It’s a lottery

 

[Hewitt]

My first allocation was the 2013’s and I’m still without a clue on what I will get.

Last year I got 6 x Cab/Malbec, this year I got way more …..

Then next year I will be on this site waiting to hear about when CC’s being hit …. All part of the game unfortunately. That’s why they are worth what they are in the secondary market because they are so hard to get.

Another friend hasn’t gotten anything yet either.

True, or you can get them down at the local where they've been on sale for weeks now...

 

[Hewitt]

That’s actually not bad prices … but no Shiraz..

That’s what I was thinking..! Clearly for retailers they get what they want. No 6 bottle limits..

You wouldn’t find those prices anywhere in Melbourne!

Ah so be it.
I got something for 3 years straight until last year but never reached red crayon.
Bit frustrating to be back in the pack but so goes the wendouree lottery.
Hopefully at least all red crayons get something.

Agree, it is what it is! Either way were still on the list and back next year.. we have some cracker wines back to 15's so plenty to cellar and enjoy.
