Shipping wine can be quite pricey (think heavy boxes & specialized packaging) so we have a set reduced, flat rate price of $25 for all ground and temperature-controlled club shipments. Take advantage of the flat rate by adding on to your club shipment during the customization period - ship all the wine you want for only $25.
We will charge your card the day your release ships out. For most of the West Coast, wine shipments are delivered 1 to 2 days later. For East Coast addresses, wine shipments are delivered between 5 to 10 business days. When your release is shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information.
