Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[afro]

Not me on wine front.... - my handle there is very similar to my AFF one

Oh.. I didn’t make that clear, I mean I saw the disagreement you mention on wine front.

You get what you pay for.

I have received an allocation for the past 3 years but this year received a “sorry no can do” letter. Skinny year indeed!

Received letter today, shiraz mataro, shiraz, cab malbec and muscat. Limit of 6 per wine.

I was 1st year last year and got that letter, expecting the same this year

For $69 a year , you get to read and discover about wines that you are drinking or never heard of , plus the forum which a lot of winery/winemakers are there to answer your questions too. its the price you pay for a 6 pack at the mof_s.

if you don't mind me asking, what price is the Muscat?

 

[darellk]

2nd year player here, just received this year's nicely worded knockback letter, stating with production of only 25tn that pricelists will only be sent to long term customers, and I will be retained on the list and advised when stocks from the 2021 vintage (yielding 45tn) are released in 2023. Disappointing but expected.

So the hunt for a reasonably priced bottle or two continues......

3rd year... rejection. Pretty disappointing.

That's Wendouree.

Extreme patience required.

Or make friends with someone who you know gets an allocation. Almost everyone I know that gets their full allocation every year doesn't intend to keep every bottle. Swaps 'among friends' are common.

4th year rejection too. Allocations so far; 4/6/0/0

Pretty sure I've signed up after you. I'm grateful to get anything this year knowing full well it's a slim vintage.
