This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend.Please consider shipping to an office address. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery.

You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages.We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method.
