Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[CTT]

has any first years got any allocation this year? haha can't remember ever wanting to someone to charge my credit card this much.....

 

[moonsafari]

2019 green stamp, put in for 3 of everything excluding the Cab Malbec. Received 3 of each of the Shiraz blends.

This year I didn’t even get the “sorry we couldn’t complete your order” letter.

I got the N/A next to the wines I ordered,

Don’t we all wish we had a product that we never have to excuse ourselves, sell out every year and never have to say “sorry”. #perfectmodel

 

[Sabot]

Anyone received anything since?

For the purpose of assisting in trying to understand the lottery logic - After expecting to receive nothing as a first year member, particularly after almost 2.5 months of waiting, yesterday my card was charged. Based on the figure, I expect a six pack of Shiraz Mataro or Shiraz Malbec (Or a mix). My theory was order six of everything (but not the muscat) So that if there was anything left at the end then I had it on my order. I returned the form within an hour of receiving it in Tasmania on the 7th of July. Apologies in advance to anyone who has missed out.

My order arrived today. I got 3 x Shiraz Malbecs.

 

[WhatTheEgg]

First year, got letter today saying nothing left. I sent express and it would've been back at them within a day or so of me recieving the letter in SA.

 

[Jczer000]

Anyone know how the Muscat is produced (fortified, late picked etc) ... Information online seems inconsistent.

out of interest, what did you request on order form?

3 of each except muscat

 

[CTT]

got my rejection letter

 

[qaz]

My order finally arrived in Melbourne. Turn out I got all Shiraz I ordered but none on Cab Malbec and short one for Malbec and Cab Sauv.

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.

suggested alternative whilst Langton's have free delivery:

• JIM BARRY WINES St Clare Dry Red Cabernet Malbec, Clare Valley $55 - vintages available include:
  • 2018 - GW96
  • 2016 - NS96, GW95+, NG94

(also JIM BARRY WINES St Clare Dry Red Discover 6 Pack)

Does anyone know if Wendouree has new stafff in?
I finally wrote in, and received a reply from a "Kephii Koperalli" or thereabouts - lovely handwritten letter is difficult to decipher at times.

Also apparently two very small vintage releases ahead so may be a couple years before I get an allocation.

It looks like the same staff member that wrote to me in 2019 - Perhaps "Kershin"....

Unless someone else has got a clear idea, might have to scribble some of those middle letters when I write back to thank them haha
