Yep. 17th of august my CC got hit. 3 each of shiraz, cab sauv, shiraz mat and cab malb received a couple days later.
3rd year on list, 1st time getting anything. No crayon.
I consider myself very fortunate for this years wendouree roulette.

Nice haul. 5th year and nothing here. Enjoy!

I guess I’ll stop looking for a charge on my CC then. I though ordering just a few bottles might give me a better chance but it seems ordering a lot and expecting them not all to be supplied might be a better approach.

Starting to reside to the fact that the cow didn't do its business in my square this year (red crayon, 10+ years...)

Not true. Loyalty is rewarded. In time you can definitely expect a case of everything and even much more.

Got the 'dear john' letter today...

10 years and nothing? Sounds like we need to move to a different state.

Yes mine arrived today....interesting that they are more optimistic about the '22 vintage volume and it will offer 7 wines.

Does it really mean anything? They said the same last year.

Scary part is 7 x 6 = $$$$$
(or based off this year 5 x 0 = 0)

Correct. Unless they've put a note against you for next year cause you didn't get any this year... absolutey nothing...

 

[PaulZ]

True, or you can get them down at the local where they've been on sale for weeks now...

None of my locals have ever stocked Wendouree...
Does your locap still have any stock left & if so, where is your local?

If I may ask a question, I’ve sent my well written letter this year kindly requesting placement in the next available opening. Should I be expecting a reply of any kind, am I being optimistic to even get a response, or how long would you expect to wait?

A reply is usual.

 

[edshort]

Nice little pressings the other night with my uncle..

 

[jfboote]

A reply is usual.

Would you expect a reply to come through once you're placed on the list, or a reply to the letter once received? I ask as it has been approx. 4 months since I sent my letter addressed to the owners.

As Dr Ralph mentioned the reply is usual.
Lita is probably going through all the letters that have been sent in for mailing list requests and going to write back to them all at some stage, if you make the list you may just get the sorry letter next June July or the allocation letter! It’s a waiting game.
