To save on shipping charges, we ship from California and New York, depending on your location. The best quantities to ship are 2, 6 and 12 bottle packages.
We strongly suggest shipping your order to a business address. State law requires an adult signature at the time of delivery for every package containing wine. It is the recipient’s responsibility to ensure an adult is available to sign for the shipment at delivery. Shipments will not be delivered under the following circumstances:
- The recipient is not 21 years of age or older or does not have an acceptable form of ID such as a driver's license, passport or birth certificate.
- The recipient shows signs of intoxication.

- All orders take two full business days to process, so orders cannot be shipped the same day they are placed.
- Shipping wine is complicated by various state-mandated limits and requirements. We run your order through our state compliance matrix to ensure a legal shipment. It takes two business days to process the order, check it, and then send on to picking and packing.

*Please know that UPS Ground service does not have a “delivery day agreement” and is therefore not recommended for customers who must arrange to have someone 21 or older present at the delivery address to accept their wine shipment. If you are shipping to AZ, CA, CO, DC, ID, MI, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OR, SC, VA, WA, WV, or WY and are making arrangements to have someone 21 or older available all day on the delivery day to sign for the wine, please select FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air service to ensure delivery date.
Furthermore, if you select UPS Ground Service, their service could take anywhere from 1 to 5 business days for delivery; we are not able to guarantee a delivery date.
Thanks for reading the fine print about shipping practices.
