Wendouree allocations and general discussion

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

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.
 
has any NSW first year received anything? I'm still waiting... i did return my mail 3 days after I received it though
 
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.
 
Anyone know how the Muscat is produced (fortified, late picked etc) ... Information online seems inconsistent.
 
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:
(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"....
