Policies

AVAILABLILITY

  • We strive to have the bulk of our wine in stock and available for immediate shipment. 
  • We collect and import wines newly purchased as soon as they become available to us.
  • Futures: wine that is purchased as a future will not be available for 2-3 years.  Futures are released by the Chateaux 2 years after harvest, starting in the fall, with the last wines released the following spring.
  •  All prices are FOB Tumwater, WA. 


QUALITY CONTROL

  • Upon arrival into our warehouse, old and rare wines are inspected for overall appearance and levels to ensure that all stock meets our standards. Photographs of old and rare wines that are in stock will be emailed, upon your request.

TERMS

  • Standard terms are "15 days from availability or prior to shipment, whichever comes first."
  • Standard terms do not apply to Special Offers or Futures.
  • Terms are stated on each offer that you receive and also on all proformas, which are e-mailed or faxed to you, confirming your order.
  • Special orders may require a non-refundable deposit and cannot be canceled.
