TWS Rhône 19 offer

I was very happy to be offered some Gonon, the Villard Reflet, the Gaillard St Jo and the Sorrel Crozes. I did flinch again at the price of the Crozes though - it is up 23% on last year in GBP
Yes the Sorrel Wines are seemingly being 'repositioned' at a higher price point sadly. Still bought though, mostly because I tore through a case of the 2017 Crozes this winter and it was really excellent.
 
Got everything I asked for apart from Faurie....which I never seem to get. Whereas I have always been allocated Gonon.

I wonder if the TWS algorithm keeps allocations for long-standing subscribers to certain wines? I always got a Gonon allocation from the 2012s onwards until I skipped the 2017s.

Yes - agreed Ben. It seems that way looking at the consistency of what I do and don’t get each year.

Not in my experience, I’ve got wines some years and not others, TWS doesn’t mention this in the little bit they do say about the allocation process
 
3 Gonon only.

From WS, I bought '15 and '18. Got no '16 and '17. Before '15 I bought Gonon from VT as needed. As I drink approx 1.5 bottles a year of St Joseph rouge, that’s enough for me by lottery.

Bought a bit of Gonon 18 (2 bottles in shops in France) , some JL Chave Clos Florentin and Vernay Cote Rotie Blonde du Seigneur... I have stopped buying South Rhone some years ago.
 
Definitely does not favour Devon boys in my experience. I suspect sacrifice is required for me to get allocated any of the hallowed Gonon.

I guess I will have to stick to Clape.
 
I can see the wines allocated in my account, but am I the only person who hasn't received the official allocation email yet? Wondering if there's an issue with my account (I also never receive any emailed wine offers)?

Def possible. I have had two emails (Red, White) letting me know (one of which said no Gonon, though got 15 and 18).
