Fine & Rare Wines

Due to the limited availability of our Fine and Rare Wines, we are unable to offer exchanges and we do not offer refunds or returns, as is the practice of fine wine auction houses. Once the wine has been shipped from our cellar the sale is final. Please see the fine & rare policy letter that is included in all Fine & Rare Wine orders.

Shipping Policy

You must be at least 21 years old to order and receive wine by federal law. When you place an order you will be asked to confirm that you are at least 21 years old. At time of delivery someone 21 years or older must be present during normal business hours to sign for the package.

If no one is available during normal business hours at your shipping address to sign for the package we recommend the package is shipped to your business address to insure fast, interruption-free delivery. Void where prohibited by law. Please allow 10 - 14 business days for delivery.

We currently ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, IA, ID, IL, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI, WV, WY and DC. In accordance with state laws, all orders are processed and fulfilled by licensed entities in the industry and applicable taxes are paid. State laws on wine shipping are not always straight forward, but are under review and the list of states allowing wine shipment is ever growing. As soon as a state becomes available for shipping, you can be sure we’ll add it to our list!

Substitution Policy

Small batch wines mean bigger flavors and why running out can be a good thing!

The vast majority of our wines are produced in very small quantities. Sometimes just a few barrels. We choose to buy these wines simply because they taste better than mass-produced brands. The care you can lavish on a small batch is just that much greater. And it shows. One consequence of this policy is that occasionally we run out of the wines we write to you about. That can be frustrating but it is also an opportunity to discover something new, and often better!

If we do run out, we chose (with great care) an alternative, always of equal or greater value, and as close as possible in style to the wine offered. Because it will be another hand-crafted wine from an equally passionate winemaker, chances are you’ll simply discover a new favorite. Customers frequently tell us that’s the case. And always remember, with our 100% money back guarantee, there’s no risk. If ever you’re not impressed, you just let us know.
