All wine orders must be placed by a person 21 years of age or older. Verification of age is required at the time of delivery. We recommend use of a business address to facilitate delivery of your purchase. Wine will not be delivered to a visibly intoxicated person. Failure to produce age verification forfeits the right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or it may be shipped back to the winery. All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.

Orders are processed Monday through Friday. Expect orders placed after business hours to take two days for processing. FedEx Overnight orders placed during business hours on Friday will arrive the following Tuesday. Freight is calculated towards the end of the online ordering process. Also, at this time we do not ship online store products outside the United States.
