Every Shipment is Important to Us.
Bringing you enjoyment through wine and food is our primary goal.
Shipping your wine is the only step in the process from vineyard-to-winery-to-bottle-to-you where we don't have total control. We entrust the world's most experienced shipping companies UPS and FedEx to faithfully carry our beautiful wines to you. If something untoward happens don't worry, our "satisfaction or replace" policy will make sure you get to enjoy your wines.
If we can do anything to make your membership experience better, just email and ask us.
Club shipments have traditionally been designed around holidays to avoid the summer months. Regular shipments come in February, May, October and December or you can design your own special shipment schedule, e.g., Summer home/Winter home.
Shipments may be slightly delayed in areas suffering extreme weather conditions.

Our wines are only available through our regular wine club shipments, or you can order individual wines via this web site. We do not distribute our wines or sell them through brokers, wine shops or restaurants.
Our limited production of wines places us in the "boutique winery" category. This allows us to ship wine directly to the consumer in many U.S. states where many other wineries cannot because they have prior commitments with local liquor distributors or are too large to permit shipping direct-to-consumer.

As an alternative to shipping, you may elect to pick up your wines at one of our "pickup parties". Since the wines remain in our "wine-friendly" warehouse until collection, if you miss your pick up date the wines may be out of stock by the time you come to collect them. If this is the case we will substitute a different wine of similar variety and price to the original club shipment wine.
For Wine Club shipments you may opt for our “Extreme Climates” option where instead of shipping four times each year we only ship in April and November.
Alternatively, we will ship wine to any UPS Store within the United States where it is legal to do so. You simply register with a UPS store convenient to you and they will receive and hold your wine package in an air conditioned environment for you to collect at your leisure.

If you want wines shipped in summer we will include “cool packs” and ship either via overnight air or our weekly temperature controlled trucks to ensure your wines arrive safely.
We are able to ship our wines throughout summer and in extreme winter weather. For California, Arizona and Nevada we include ice packs and deliver the next day, via courier service. For other states we ship our wines in temperature controlled trucks through air conditioned distribution centers.
We email you with a tracking number when the wines leave our warehouse. They are transported by ground across country to one of four gateway warehouses located in Houston, TX; Jacksonville, FL; Chicago, IL and New York, NY.
At the gateway warehouse, the packages are cross-docked to another truck and transported to the UPS or FedEx distribution center nearest to you. Up to this stage, the wines have constantly been in a temperature controlled environment. From the distribution center they are dispatched for delivery to you via a normal UPS or FedEx delivery vehicle. This method has significant benefits, namely:
We are working with our shipping partners and expect to be able to provide more extensive tracking information on future deliveries. In the meantime please feel free to call 707-433-1500 or email us regarding your delivery.

Each order is shipped in sturdy, shock absorbent wine shipping containers enclosed in a cardboard box, all manufactured as recycled, environmentally friendly packaging.
If something happens with the wine during shipping we will replace it, without question.
You can change your club shipment quantity and varietal levels at any time and if you ever have a problem with any wine in a shipment we will replace it, no questions, no cost. It’s that simple!
You get the picture. As long as it’s legal, we’ll bend over backward to make sure you can enjoy our wines as part of our wine club family.

As part of processing your order we engage a carrier such as UPS or FedEx to deliver it to you. When your package is picked up the carrier allocates it a “tracking number” to identify and trace your shipment as it moves through their system to your destination.
When we know your “tracking number” we send an e-mail notification to you. By clicking on the “tracking number” in the email it will take you to the carrier’s web site and automatically tell you where your package is currently and when they estimate you can expect delivery. Carriers generally are unable to specify an exact delivery time but typically deliveries occur during normal business hours.
