Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[Steady]

It's been all quite on the credit card hit front this week....anyone had any joy?

nothing here

 

[Kid]

Vic - green - nothing also. Seems unlikely now

last year c/cards were still being hit in early Sept, so hopefully next week may bring joy to some. I'm Vic-Green as well.

I’m a red crayon in VIC (buying since 2012 vintage) and cc just hit today.

Well done. They apparently sold out of Shiraz 24b shiraz, so if you ordered a 6 pack of it, that would amount to $470ish delivered depending on your location

Turns out that was all that was not included.

Safely in my cellar now and I'll have to decide what I can try first (other than the Muscat) as recommended drink windows all seem to be into the future/end of this decade.

According to Erin Larkin (2021 vintage), Shiraz Mataro is good to go pretty much right away.

NSW green. Got most of my 2 doz order filled.

Green crayon NSW, still nothing on card, ordered 3 of everything.
I think I’ve received something 3/5 orders so far

 

[planky]

Got a charge on my card today - I ordered 6 of everything except Muscat, looks like I'll be getting about 2/3 of it. Assuming the 24b is out of the question, hopefully that doesn't mean they are out of something else (likely one of the Shiraz blends based on the charge)

So much for a red crayon and loyalty of buying for a long time.

Happened to me last year. Red crayon and long term customer. Even rang them early August and got a "yeah, we've got your order" and then month or so later the bad luck letter...
It certainly makes me question comments re. crayons, colours, loyalty etc..

Same, it seems it does happen here and there. I got only 3 bottles last year as well from a 18 order..

Yep, it certainly sounds like an extremely fair and very well thought out process of allocation that rewards loyalty and patronage!

Interesting reviews on these(22) vintage? I’ve read the Robert Parker’s notes from Erin and they are very different compared to old mates above.. interesting how different they all are.
