Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[khussey79]

Just got a call from them, I had a note saying I would be happy to substitute wines to make a case, and they offered me shiraz-mataro and shiraz-malbec, so got 3 of each (everything else seems to be gone) which is exactly what I got in 2017. Nice of them to call me. (Green crayon)

Second year “green” in SA. Just had card hit for $621.

Put in for 6 of everything but added a note stating I didn’t expect all that and was happy with whatever came in.

Further to info in the above posts I’m assuming 6 each of the Shiraz-Mataro and Shiraz-Malbec. Interesting no MoA though if that’s the case.

As grateful as I am, hopefully the fact Ive got something means all the reds (and higher) out there have received something by now!

I’m kicking myself. I just realised that I’ve cancelled the credit card that I gave to Wendouree. I was getting hit up by multiple random international transactions so I thought I’d cancel my card to be safe. Will try to give them a call tomorrow... fingers crossed

Did you try calling them?

Got my wine delivered yesterday - metro Melbourne. Glad I got all the Shiraz and cab sav I asked for (and also Shiraz Mataro, Shiraz Malbec and Malbec).

Yep but they did say that I was unlikely to get anything. So I’ve just used my budget for Mount Mary members release

Datapoint: form stamped "2019", NSW, form received by Wendouree 10/7 and surname right at the back, most likely will get nothing.

Asked for 6 of everything except the muscat and got charged $630 just a moment ago.

This is my second year and my form arrived with a green “2019” stamp (so not actually a crayon). Assuming that 2019 representing the first year I was on the list. A mate who put in for the first time this year has a green “2020”.

My guess is that it’s a way to prioritise those who haven’t hit red status yet.

makes mine even weirder been on the list for 3 years, landed red crayon for 17 vintage, received mailer this year blank, landed about 3 bottles. Love the wendouree merry go round

Think everyone reads too much into it, I know people who have been getting it for decades and it's not always the same

No.

People can guess tough.

The crayon/priority allocation system details have never been published, but are frequently (often incorrectly in my view) speculated upon.

Still no word from QLD.

Im in QLD and got $275 bill on CC, take off the $35 delivery and one assumes maybe 3 bottles?

3 - 4 I'd imagine, sure. At least you got something.
Oh well, here's to hoping. Expectations low for first year.

Delivery $14.8 per case to NSW. So for $275 you've got 4 to 5 bottles coming your way.

My form had a $35 a case , possibly might be less if it’s not a case ? I’ll take anything really as seems a much lower year for many , was spoilt last year with a full case in my second year

FYI. Red, Vic.
Asked for 6 of everything ex Muscat.
Received 6 Shiraz Mataro, 6 Shiraz Malbec, 3 Malbec, 3 Shiraz.
The last couple of years I've been sorely disappointed to miss out on Cabernet and now the Cab Malbec as well.

Not sure where the $14.80 or $35 charges come from but this is my letter showing freight charges..less than 6 is adjusted as per Aust Post rates.

Yes imagine now I’m not getting a case it’s down to 16 which means at least 4 bottles. A full case from memory was charged at 30 plus last year from memory ? To be honest never really recall as i ordered about 3 months ago ......
