Wellington Vineyards Mystery Case (12)

Just picked up my 2 cases last night and came here to see what others got. My Lord I was shocked by the negative comments. I kind of expected a bottle of Chard as we all know Welington is winding down and had a lot of Chard. Go out for some Thai food and drink the chard for crying out loud. As for those short a Victory, mistakes happen to claim this was intended was as I said very surprising from this group. Going to check my haul now.

Good to know! Thanks for taking care of us.

Oh, and add me to the list missing a Victory.

Just opened my case today:

2013 Chardonnay
2013 Cabernet Franc, Baron
2012 Petite Sirah :slight_smile:
2013 Petit Verdot, Sarlo
2012 Syrah, Estate
2013 Syrah, Charlie Walker’s Corner
2013 Syrah, Estate (2 bottles)
2011 Zinfandel, Estate
2013 Zinfandel, Meeks Hilltop (2 bottles)
2008 Victory

Happy with all! Well, except for the MIA Victory.

Edit: Wait a minute! A “bottle of Victor”??

Who’s Victor and why would we want a bottle of him? :wink:

I had bought two cases, both only having a singular bottle of Victory.
Yesterday I got tracking notification of an upcoming delivery, I knew what it was
and so now to today, I just took delivery of a single Victory, but now the money question is this, why would you send them individually or perhaps you have only sent me one when I did in fact buy two cases and only got one Victory in each.
Please look into this. Thank you and a very Merry Christmas.

Got a single replacement Victory (2013) for the one delivered case. As expected, WD takes care of the errors.

Yet still not a peep from anybody at CS about my missing case. I might have to go right to WD!

Got my Victory today as well… Thanks WD!!

A weary monkey staggered to the our door this evening. Leaning on the doorbell to get our attention, because we weren’t expecting anything today, he said, “Hey open up I have your missing 3 Victory’s and I brought my cork screw if you don’t want them!!” I sprang to the door, stepped on the cat, trip over the dog but made it just as he was about to open the box. He looked me in the eyes and said, 'Now we are even, don’t bug me any more!!" and was gone in a flash. As he disappeared out of sight, I thought I heard him say, “119 more stupid stops to make…Wineo’s…”

Same here, was missing 2 victories, and received a single 2013 today. Just emailed CS to let them know i think another may need to be sent.

Thank you WD and Wellington!!! Just received the replacements.

I see I have a $27 refund from Woot. Can only be for the other Victory that I never got.
Not what I would have wanted as far as a resolution but I guess Woot Wine doesn’t care if they make you happy at this point.
Now don’t go reading into this as me being unhappy but I certainly thought that Woot and even Wellington would have done something a little more than the minimum to make loyal customers happy after this completely amateur way of packing and shipping caused such a mess.

This whole debacle has so many inconsistencies to it that it’s rather apparent that no one had a clear idea as to just what happened, what was going on and how to fix it.

Same here. Thanks again WD and good luck in the future.

But I am STILL waiting for word on the case that never shipped…

Edit: got word this morning

Which was? :waiting:

Wow! loads of comments! I got the following: (2 cases)
2x Victory 08
2x Victory 12
2x Chardonnay 13
2x Syrah Charlies Corner 13
2x Syrah Estate 12
2x Cab Franc 13
2x Petit Verdot Sarlo 12
2x Petit Syrah 12
4X Zin Meeks 13 (we do like our zin!)
2x Zin estate 11
2x Zin estate 10

So a fair grab bag. Other than the ad saying Chard would be a maybe filler (and sounds like it was a definite filler) this was quite the score at $13 a bottle. QPR is great vs. going to the store and buying bottles, OR the $40 I paid at a restaurant for a 2013 Wellington Merlot.

Only suggestion I have for WD is don’t do “might be a filler” in future endeavors, just say it will be one of the bottles. Or sell out faster of just red boxes.

Peter Wellington - thanks for the grape juice, yum!

Supposed to be replaced/coming…waiting for further info

I agree that this was a fair (amazing) grab bag.

I got 2 cases. Both similar. 1 chard each. 2 victory. 1 cab. 1 field blend (one of my faves). Zins and syrahs. Very happy.

At least you heard it was coming … last email from CS was that their wine guy was on vacation. Hopefully I’ll hear something on Tuesday.

My 2 cases were identical, both had 4 Zins and a chardonnay. Not happy because i already have nearly a case of each Zin and don’t like Chard.

Unfortunately, it matters not that you are not happy, they don’t care anymore.
Ask me how I know.

Got the re-shipped case today…wasn’t expecting it since there was no email! As has always been my experience, WD makes it right.

2013 Victory x2
2013 Petit Verdot x2
2013 Cabernet (Sonoma County) x2
2013 Cab Franc x2
2013 Syrah Charlie’s
2013 Malbec
2013 Zinfandel Meeks
2012 Zinfandel Meeks

Nice assortment, actually better than some of the other cases. All red, 2x Victory. Only thing that could have made it better would be the SC Cabs swapped for the vineyard designates. Thanks again WD!
