Shipping rates vary depending on the quantity of wine purchase, the state you are shipping to, the speed of service that you request (ie: overnight, 2 or 3 day, ground) and whether you are shipping to a residence or business.

During checkout you will have the option to select your shipping preferences and view the shipping costs for your order before paying.

We allow to use your own UPS or FedEX account, there is a $20.00 per case fee and the order cannot be placed online (CALL-IN ONLY)

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Paypal for online orders.

Orders are usually processed within one business day. We only ship on Monday & Tuesday unless it is very hot, in which case your shipment will be held until it is safe to avoid damage to your wine.

We offer to store your (paid) wines at NO-CHARGE in our temperature controlled warehouse when temperatures are too high or too low, and ship at a later date.

Please check your email for updates from us regarding shipping and temperature holds on your order. Ask us about temperature controlled shipping options available in some areas.
