Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[adelee]

still nothing for me here in SA! I think I will be less anxious if i avoid reading these forums.

Hi all.

I'm SA, red crayon and sent back my order form on July 7. Still no charge as yet, but I did ring up late last week and was informed my order had been received and it would be happening soon. Waiting, waiting....

Some SA people reporting charges on CC yesterday (16th).

Nothing for me in Qld thus far

Some reports of QLD people having cards charged on 11/12 August, some in Melb Aug 15th.

NSW, red crayon, 6 of everything bar muscat :shock:

Got my full allocation charged yesterday, too. Rumours afoot that the winery will be sold next year, leading to a big shakeup (and massive reduction in allocations - with only black signature members receiving a mixed 6 pack, and everyone else out). Let's hope not!

50% markup, not bad considering $100+ on auctions per bottle.

Good value for the shiraz, and reasonable for the straight cab, but the cab-malbec, straight malbec and shiraz blends can usually be found around the $60-$65+ mark at auction.

I may be in trouble for my allocations this year. A friend who ordered less than me and after I submitted my order received their delivery last week. They live in the same street as me.

you should be the last one to worry, no signature no crayon here. heard a few nsw got charged last week, that should be a good sign.

For anyone really concerned, just give them a ring. I did so last week and they were able to reassure me that they had received my order form and would be charging me shortly.

Red stripe and just had credit card confirmation yesterday. Received everything I asked for (Shiraz/Shiraz Mataro/Cab/Cab Malbec). Very happy

Did you hear this from the horses mouth?

No. A longstanding Wendouree customer and member of the AusWine forum. I am hoping it's not true.

The same person who said this year's allocation method will be different to past years...was hoping someone else besides that person might have a bit more news/inside gossip.

just checked my bank account online, card charged on monday, looks like everything i asked for, still hope for others to get full allocations.
