No luck here in QLD. I was late in getting back the form though.

So, I was struck off the list for some reason. They are sending me a letter but something about an error last year (even though I got my wines delivered). I couldn't make much sense of it but the lady I spoke to was lovely. Anyway, they are no longer sending to my work address. Odd.

QLD here and no letter yet. Been red crayon forever now.

Great topic.

Trial and error and finding reviewers and merchants whose tastes match yours. I love Winefront but gravitate toward Campbell and then Gary for my wine recommendations.

Had an incredible tasting over the weekend. 2002 Louis Roederer Cristal - I liked this the most out of the 2 Champagnes. I was the only one though. Beautiful line of acidity. Agreed that we didn't think it would get better, just older. 2002 Dom Perignon P2 - Darker colour than the bottle I tried 6 m...

I ordered 6 of each. It'll be the the Cabernet Malbec than. Happy with that!

Looks like I ended up with 6 x Shiraz and 6 of the Cabernet or a mix of the Cab and Cab blend. Nice!

Sadly no charge for me yet. Brisbane red crayon for about 8 years. Asked for 6 of each... BUT my card for the last few days has been locked. I wonder if they call if they don't have any luck charging your card?

At least I got in on the Mount Mary release.

Yattarna is the only one I am interested in. If I find a few in my travels I will grab it. Won't be going out of my way.

No charge QLD here. Red crayon. Asked for 6 of each

Had a beautifully cellared 1998 Wirra Wirra Penley Cabernet.

Fantastic wine. Feels immortal. No way you would pick it was 24 years old. So youthful. I will look at my last bottle in 5 years

Red crayon QLD - No charge. Guessing I won't be seeing any this vintage.

So odd.

I have Shiraz, Shiraz Mataro and the Cab Malbec on my order form. QLD red

Wow. What a read! That is shocking customer service. Does it for me too. Won't be making anymore purchases from this winery moving forward.

Been and expensive month (for me anyway)...

2019 Wendouree Cab/Malbec - Far out this isn't as approachable as it has been for the last few vintages. Tannin sticks out a little and needs to settle. Super good mind you. Blackcurrent, saltbush, wet herb and blackberry. More serious than the colour would suggest. I suspect this will be quite some...

Qld red crayon hit today. About 1/2 of what I ordered. Happy with that!

Red crayon QLD. No charge yet. I can't really afford a lot at the moment so I am really not fussed. More curious than anything now!

Haha yeah. $95,000

Umm pass.

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

QLD here. No mailer yet.

Some pretty good wines this month. 2002 Henschke Hill of Grace. Classic pepper, cloves, plum and leather on the nose. Very typical of the cooler vintage. Looks better than it did a few years back. Sadly my last bottle. Tannin beautifully woven with the fruit now. 4/5 2002 Billecart Salmon Nicolas Fr...

Sure do! Wine Emporium in Brisbane.

3 x 2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne
3 x 2010 Dom Perignon
4 x 2016 Bell Hill Pinot Noir

Sad to have missed the Sami Odi wines...

Breaks my heart all the Cullen mentions. Some of my favourite wines of the year have been Kevin John and Diana.

For me it's Clonakilla. Good not great wines for me.

Nothing here yet. Red QLD

Can't afford it but ordered 6 of each wine. I am a red crayon so I won't get all that I ask for. Last year was a disaster!
