Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[Dr Ralph]

How do you get on the mailing list - does one have to ring them ? (doesn't seem to be an easy web page to find).

Take some time to read this thread. There are numerous people with the same question as you and detailed responses have been provided.

You will also find discussion of the crayon relevance.

Mine came sometime last week, and I picked it up from the PO Box this weekend. Sending tomorrow.

My full order arrived in Adelaide today, first year red crayon. Happy days.

 

[Steady]

That's nice and quick OR, no charge to my CC yet

Good stuff, that was quick. How much did you order out of interest? My experience with the crayon/colours is inconclusive, I think way too much is read into it. Enjoy

Only ordered a few of everything, so a pretty modest order after getting only Shiraz Malbec last year. One mate ordered half a dozen of everything and another ordered half a dozen Shiraz, Cab Sav and Cab Malbec, neither had card charged.
Agreed way too much read into crayon marking etc., guess that is part of the intrigue of it all for some.

Nope. It's taken very seriously by Tony and Lida.

CC has just been charged the full amount of my order :mrgreen:

Black Signature - full allocation - some happy colleagues get to indulge!

2 weeks late sending in, 2 week delay in order - is there rhyme or reason ??

 

[Steady]

My order arrived safely today

Still waiting for mine, 3rd year/red crayon, form returned on 7/7 (arrived on 10/7, it was sent via express...) and CC haven't been charged.

A family member has ordered for decades, gets different markings and doesn't always get requested allocations

I'd encourage you to do some reading and speak with Tony or Lida. No crayon marking is ever guaranteed to get whatever they like.

Is it Lita or Lida?

 

[Dr Ralph]

Is it Lita or Lida?

My mistake it is Lita. She is usually the person who answers the phone.

 

[WineNot]

My mistake it is Lita. She is usually the person who answers the phone.

For those still checking, I just spoke to Lita. I wanted to confirm my order form was received and had the correct card details on it. She said that there are still plenty of orders to process before they get to mine as I am only a recent addition to the list. Also mentioned that it was a rather challenging vintage all round, so allocations to all may be lower than usual.

Anyone in SYD received their order yet ?

Anyone in SYD received their order yet ?

I have a friend in Wollongong who tells me he received 10 cases during the last week (including 6 x Shiraz and 6 x Cabernet Sauvignon).

Mine is being held until October when I return from the US.

I haven't received my order but did get the amount deducted from my credit card today. I think it matches my whole order but I can't remember the pricing this year!

I really need to start taking a scan or photo of the order form
