With regards to wine, excessive exposure to heat can seriously damage the quality of the wine, a particular concern during the hot summer months.   As such, please note that any orders placed online may be held temporarily due to high temperatures:
  1. We have the option for you to choose whether you prefer to ship immediately or hold the order with regards to the weather. This option is located on the shopping cart page when placing an order and was are happy to accommodate either way.

  2. We will hold the order in our temperature-controlled storage facility at no additional cost for up to 90 days. After 90 days, we will ship the wines to your address provided, or additional storage fees may apply.

Do I need to be home to receive my delivery?

All packages containing alcohol must be signed for by an adult over the age of 21. 

Many customers choose to have their order sent to their work address so that an adult is present to sign for it. If an order is sent to a home address and an adult is not present, FedEx will try to deliver twice more on consecutive business days. FedEx will furnish their telephone number on the door tags they leave so that the recipient can call to arrange to pick up of their package at the local FedEx facility if they like. FedEx will hold packages for five days if a recipient tells them that they are coming to pick up their package. If the recipient does not contact FedEx, or if the package is not picked up within the five-day window, FedEx will return the package to us. Additional shipping fees will apply for any package that is required to be reshipped.

How can I track my order?

The Order Fulfillment email will contain your third party carrier tracking number.  However, for certain states, tracking information is provided after you are notified that the product has shipped. For these states, tracking information may be provided up to two business days after your order has shipped depending on third-party carrier processing timelines, which vary based on order volume.
