Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[hwy]

Times must have changed since I went to university, I didn't have a budget of $100 for a night out on the booze.

First year getting the order form, normally how long it takes for them to put a charge on the credit card and deliver the wine?

Simply getting the order form doesn't guarantee delivery, given my last 2 years. When did you sign up?

I think I signed up around late 2020/early 2021, in the first two years I only got a letter saying they couldn't even give me an order form, so at least it's an improvement!

I would guess looking at the previous years in this thread, people reported their credit cards charged starting in August. So I would give it couple of weeks at least.

Depends on the orders from long termers other mailout statuses and as the 20 vintage was low yield its double for the 21's. So could be ok for ya this year.

I see on the Auswine forum someone's* CC has been charged by Wendouree, its started.

*Wasn't there once a member on AFF called Kohen?

Never in my wildest imagination I ever imagined that I would be awaiting anxiously and hoping for my CC to be hit with a hefty amount.

Decanted for 2- 3hrs. Musk, dark fruit, perfume and a little sweetness! Silky in the glass, Chewy tannins, savoury finish definitely a little more time. Thought it was lovely seemed a little more of the softer elegant side than other vintages.

Reading on that forum that another CC got hit for a full amount.

Saw on instagram someone I follow already got theirs in Sydney. He was a “green crayon“ this year. (Red crayon here and nothing yet.)

A green gets before a red. Wow, the mystery continues.
