Shipping wine to Texas, California, Florida, and New York
Yes — we ship to all four of the biggest wine-shipping states. Whether you're hunting an allocated bourbon in Texas, a cult Tuscan red in California, a hard-to-find Scotch in Florida, or a Burgundy in New York, your order ships from our Norwalk shop with the same flat $10 rate on orders over $150.
How shipping works
Rates:
Orders over $150 ship for a flat $10. Below $150, shipping is calculated at checkout by weight and destination via our special Fedex rates.
Packing:
Bottles ship in patented protective inserts designed for glass. We hold shipments during extreme heat or cold when needed to protect the wine — please request in the notes section of your order.
Delivery & Signature:
Federal and state law requires an adult (21+) signature at delivery — consider shipping to a workplace if no one's home during the day. Most orders leave our shop within 1–2 business days; items received from our importer may take 2–3 business days extra.
Tracking:
You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your order ships.
