Shipping Policy
Service
Limited To Certain States:
Shipments
of Wine: The purchaser of all alcoholic beverages is representing that
he/she is acting in compliance with his/her local and state laws regarding
the purchase, transportation and delivery of wine. The purchaser
represents that he/she has obtained any required permission, paid any
required fees, is working through properly licensed intermediaries where
required, is legally entitled to take possession of wine and is legally
entitled to take quantities ordered. All wines are sold in CA, and title
passes to the buyer in CA. We make no representation to the legal rights
of anyone to ship or import wines into any state outside of CA. The buyer
is solely responsible for the shipment of wines. By placing an order, you
authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver
your order to you.
Shipping
The
shipping price is calculated depending on where and how much, when you
check out.
- Most
wine orders are shipped within 1-3 business days, not including
holidays or weekends. Because of the potential heat exposure, during
warm weather conditions, we will hold purchased wines at no additional
cost until temperature condition are more suitable for shipping.
Therefore, selecting a shipping option of Next day, 2nd Day or 3-Day
Select only represents the minumum business days that the package will
be in transit. During warm weather, we will hold orders until
conditions improve.
- Unfortunately,
we cannot ship alcohol to PO Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
- Primary
shipping will be by FEDEX

provided. When your wine or cigars are delivered to you, you will be
required to show identification proving that you are at least 21 years
old. All orders legally require: Drivers License, Military, Passport,
or State ID.
- If
recipient is found to be under the age of 21, all packages will be
returned to us. No refund will
be allowed.
- If
FEDEX can not make a delivery because no one is home, your package
will be held up to 3 days at the UPS warehouse. You can pick it up
there under the same conditions listed above.
*We
do not recommend ground delivery for wines,
because of the potential heat exposure,
during warm weather conditions. We cannot be responsible for damaged
wines due to the selection of ground delivery. We strongly urge you to
consider the effect of weather conditions when selecting a shipping
method. We will hold purchased wines at no additional cost until
temperature condition are more suitable for shipping upon your request.

Although
we are usually able to ship your order on the same day, occasionally,
demand for limited supplies will deplete our stock of a particular wine.
