I have also received the mail (Sydney) on Thursday 10/7, but picked up the mail at evening after work, so there's no difference between posting the mail on Friday or on Sunday. I am still pondering what to order as I attempting to order 30 bottles (5 six bottle cases).

I am definitely trying to order 6 of each of the Shiraz and Cab, but I am not sure how should I distribute the 18 bottle quota to the other 4 reds (Cab/Mal, Sh/Mat,Sh/Mal, and Mal). At this stage I am not considering the Muscat because I don't want to waste the quota and delivery charge on a lesser value bottle, I would turn to independent retailers for those Muscats as they would probably charge around $35-$40/btl anyway. Or better still, if any fellow members from this forum could spare me a couple of bottles of Muscats, that would be sweet!

Can anyone please advise what are you planning to order?

Thanks
Michael

I've suffered the dreaded red crayon for years and have obtained some through my brother.
Wont be happening again as the ones I've tried were very disappointing and extremely over rated and doesn't hold as good a resale value as my other wines.
Give me my Rockfords any day.
Just my opinion...

The shiraz is not in the same league.

Noticed my CC had been charged by Wendouree today. Straight to bed for the 2012 allocation for a long, long sleep.
Except the muscat, might crack that for a bit of a taste while this winter weather keeps persisting.

Hi there,

Did you get charged anywhere near the amount you put on the order form or much less?i'm more curious on the amount of 2012 they supply to mailer this year, hopefully i can get some, still nothing on my CC yet.

Blesso wrote:Mine came off the CC today ordered $3400, got charged $3100...pretty happy with that, cant wait to try them. I also wrote a letter with the order asking to come and visit the winery in August, lucky for me they graciously agreed to the visit, in the return letter Lita stated that the wine will be sent sometime this week, which seems reasonably quick compared to past years...so good news all round

OK, it arrived in today's mail, on offer from the 2012 vintage
Shiraz Mataro $40 (2011 $45)
Shiraz Malbec $40 (N/A)
Shiraz $50 ($50)
Malbec $40 ($45)
Cabernet Sauvignon $50 ($50)
Cabernet Malbec $50 ($50)
Muscat $25 ($25)
Interesting to see the SMat & malbec come off in price by $5 and the SMal back into the line up.
Best of luck figuring out your mark and fingers crossed you get what you order.
