Good old Australia Post. Nothing in Adelaide for me. Fingers X not too much longer

In Sydney - got mine today and posted it back. Ordered 18 bottles. Order form had a green stamp with 2018.

[mychurch]

My form arrived in Wagga. Order 24 in total - 6 each of the Shiraz and Cab Malbec, 4 each if the other 3. Not expecting to bet everything - would be happy with 18.

Red crayon.

The Wendouree carrier pigeons have a tougher time of it, flying into the prevailing wind and all of it.

Just a lowly red crayoner here.

I got the mail on Friday 9/7. Sydney sider here, humble red crayon stripe, will request each reds. Not sure if 2 business days delay would affect my allocation.

[Croquet King]

Mine arrived late Friday in Sydney - red stripe as well.

I'm using the lockdown to do a stocktake of my cellar.

[Pol]

Just curious, what quantities are people ordering? Case lots or a few bottles of each?

I ordered six each of the Shiraz blends and the Shiraz.

[DJ1980]

Mailer arrived yesterday. I'll have a look at budgets and get back the letter later in the week. QLD red crayon here.

[darellk]

First timer here in Vic, received my nicely worded rejection letter asking me to reply with confirmation that I want to be advised of future offers.

So I will wait a year in the attempt to add a couple of Wendouree examples to my small collection.

After checking my mailbox for three days, I now move on to checking my Mastercard a/c three times a day. Well, what else can I do in total lockdown?

[WAwineguy]

Posted mine back today. Was told at Australia Post that my Express Post from Perth will arrive in SA in.....oh, about 7 days

We certainly live in a new world these days

[Waiters Friend]

For those of us not on the mailing list, can someone please tell me how it works, and what the different colours, stripes, etc mean?

[Cactus]

From what I can glean. 3 levels which are 1) black initials, 2) red crayon and 3) nothing. Black inititals get what they want, red crayon gets small scalebacks 3) lucky if they get much.

I wrote a letter 10 years ago and have been a red crayon for 8 of those years.

Do not try and understand. I have been red crayon for 30 years.
Go figure.

I understand some are now getting a stamp with the year they applied e.g. 2020.

I have mentioned this before, but black initials don't get everything they want. I have got scaled back, but still get SOME of the more sought after shiraz and cab blends every time I ask for it. Happy with sharing; the reality is I don't need 6 of the same wines every year.

[Cactus]

I recently changed jobs after 13yrs at the same place. I got all my mail sent to work and email to my work email address. Forgot my Wendouree letter went there too. Had to call up and get a copy of the form sent out. Not ideal.

Take my advice. Dont be a fool, keep your personal life seperate from your work life.

My friend got a green crayon with 2020 on it! A new colour guys!

How long have they been on the list - sounds like something between Red and nothing to me but who the hell knows.

Maybe they are just messing with us all.

Started last year. More of a stamp, I think. Seems to be a way of prioritising those of us too late to the party to qualify for crayon status.

Green Crayon is only eligible for their organic biodynamic range of wines

Orders delayed a week

[Matt@5453]

Just picked up my order. As suspected, lockdown week in SA has slowed things down a bit.
Positive comments on the 2019s, described as "very complex", with Malbec likely to be the most approachable now, and some others needing 'time' in the cellar. I am interested to hear the reports from scribes like TWF who taste them all on release year in and out.
