Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[Dr Ralph]

thank you @Dr Ralph, pleasure to be here and some good info
read some of your posts and you have a bucket-load of Wendouree

in the late 80's when I didn't understand how their cellar door system worked and rocked up to find 'sold out' on their barn doors and read how tannic their wines were I let them go - more's the fool me, could have had a nice stash by now

somewhat dismayed as to the amount of auction profiteering and I'm just getting a few to kick-start
if I get lucky with some next year I guess the kids will get to drink them

Auction prices with some bottle age, typically +50-100% of the list prices recently posted here once all 'costs' are included - 16% buyer's premium at Langtons hmmmm ......

of course the Shiraz is typically $150 and up over $200 for 'good' years

The 2013 Mataro would have gone for around $35 a bottle. So $150 a bottle or more is a nice profit. Seems a better return than Sydney house prices!

 

[Steady]

to get on the bandwagon had to purchase some at auction, ouch - am on the list for next year so we'll see how that goes but sounds hit and miss but I'm not chasing a lot as have a lot of other stuff

opening a 2013 Malbec tonight - too young?

I had a ‘15 Malbec last week and it was singing on the right song sheet so I would think the 13 would be in the drinking window

 

[alittlewino]

so, the '13 Malbec has been devoured - what a wine

from a person that's shied away from the big black alcoholic red wines of recent years, this was simply sublime...no 2 ways about it

Just got my order delivered, 6 Shiraz, 6 Shiraz Mataro, 6 Cab Mablec, 3 muscat. Red Crayon. No Cab Sauv on my order form this year.

CC still not hit - I had received my order by this date last year (and all previous years)

Same. Longest I've ever waited

Red crayon, 10+yrs. cc doesn't tend to get hit till end August each yr.
Friend, red crayon, 7 yrs, lives round the cnr, gets his cc hit within weeks of mailout or at latest, mid to late July...

2020s now available at The Ed, in store only.

 

[Dr Ralph]

This seems highly unlikely. Why was there a run on the 2017 Shiraz at Vintage Cellars today?

If only we knew what 'The Ed' was. This is what I get when I google 'The Ed':

Whats the markup like? Might have to drop in.

 

[llamaesque]

Can confirm they’re still processing. My card was charged on Friday. Looks like 6 bottles which is what I ordered

Only?

If anyone’s interested, Annandale Cellars, NSW is selling the 2020 range

Thank goodness, still no charge on my card.

 

[VeniVidiVici]

Card finally charged, looks to be about half of what I ordered. Disappointing given I've only ever received full orders (in 10+ years) and I sent the letter back the day I received it.

I did however order 12 this year rather than my usual 6.

[Irish2002]

Card hit yesterday for 3/4 of my order. 5th year, Sydney. There is still hope!

 

[Steady]

I phoned today, getting 2/3rds, card his 5 minutes after calling.

I was told they still have around 2 more weeks of processing orders

 

[mini2]

Phoned last Friday and confirmed they've received my form but won't confirm if I'll be getting any or processing it right away.
