News You Can Use
As we roll through 2021 we are constantly evaluating our products, processes, and procedures to see how we can improve all aspects of our business. Earlier this year we decided to be open 7 days a week to be able to provide you wine everyday whether that was curbside only like on Monday and Tuesday or adding a full day in the Tasting Room like on Wednesday.
This month we are going to discontinue the free shipping for members and the $5 for non-members. We are going back to full shipping charges unless you order 4 bottles or more. In that case, the shipping charges will be $5 for members and $10 for non-members.
WINE with FOOD or MERCHANDISE
