Domestic Shipping
We ONLY ship on Monday & Tuesday. Please allow a minimum of 24-48 hour turnaround time for confirmation and shipment on all orders. We prefer to ship to a business address so that the wine can be signed for and accepted on the first delivery attempt. Sometimes we experience extreme hot or cold weather, during this time we will gladly hold your order and ship when weather conditions are met. If you require long term storage, please contact us at 415-337-4083 (landline NO TEXT)  

At current time we are ONLY shipping Monday & Tuesday.

We ship to many places however all wines are sold in California and ownership passes to the buyer in California.

Temperature Controlled Storage and Shipping

Nothing will ruin a case of wine faster than summer heat or a winter freeze. It is not uncommon for the temperatures in an enclosed truck to exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. During the hot summers or cold winter months, there are certain areas with extreme temperatures where it is still not safe to ship your wine. In this case, we will gladly store your PAID wines in our temperature-controlled warehouse at no additional charge until it is safe to ship. Just let us know at the time you order.
