This was my second allocation (1 3pk of God Only Knows), and I wished for a 3pk of Cailloux along with a couple other things, and didn’t get anything granted. It makes me really curious why they wouldn’t grant a wish request from a current customer but would add a new customer. Honestly frustrates me a little bit. Nothing against you Phillip, just a bit frustrated at the situation in general.
didn’t get on so i guess i’m a little more frustrated than john. as for the allocations and wishes - looks like they’re spreading the love. not a bad thing…
Thanks for the info about wishlisting. John–no worries; seems a bit odd to me too that 3 bottle allocations aren’t uniform. Not sure I have encountered that before.
Just a personal point of reference here. I’ve been on the list for 4 1/2 years and have gone from 3 bottles the first year to two cases the last order period through wish listing additional bottles each time. If you like the wine/style it really isn’t that difficult to up your allocation within a reasonable period of time.
I generally see these allocations from hard-to-acquire wineries set-up in two diametric systems. One has deep allocations for a chosen few and the other shallow smatterings to a reasonable number of consumers clamoring for wine. Not really sure which is more satisfying to the public consumer.
Thanks, David. This is encouraging. My first offer was a 3-pack of G.O.K. I wish listed everything. Second offer (last fall) I got the G.O.K. and and also the En Chamberlin from the wish list.
