AVAILABILITY AND SHIPPING INFORMATION |
||
| As our customers know, the David Coffaro "Crazy Futures Program" is an attempt to provide our wines at very reasonable prices. As a part of that program, here's our "not so crazy" way of getting the wine to you. | ||
| AVAILABILITY | Although we do not have an official release date for our wines, we believe they all benefit from at least a few months of aging and we therefore recommend holding the wines here for a few months after bottling. However, you may pick up your previously ordered wine or have it shipped anytime after you receive our release notification in August of each year. | |
| SHIPPING | For most parts
of the country, we prefer to ship wine during the months of October, November,
March and April to avoid the extremes of cold and hot weather during the
wine's journey. Remember trucks, loading docks and front porches may not
be the best place to leave wine for any length of time! However, we will
defer to your judgment as to when would be the best time to ship the wine
to your particular area. Therefore, you may instruct us to have your wine
shipped anytime during the year, based on your knowledge and experience
with wine shipments to your area. Please follow
this link to our shipping form.
Where it is legal for us to do so, we will make arrangements to have your wine shipped to you. As the legal status of shipping alcoholic products seems to be constantly changing, we ask that you contact us before placing an order (which requires shipment) if there is any question about whether or not we can ship to your state. Please note: All shippers prefer a business address for delivery rather than a residential address. As there is also a surcharge of $1.75 to $12 for residential delivery (depending on the carrier used and whether or not your address is classified as rural), please consider the possibility of using a business address for delivery. Please also keep in mind that an adult signature is required for alcoholic beverage deliveries, so having your wine delivered to a business address insures that someone is always there to sign for the package(s). |
|
| CONFIRMATION | Once you send in your shipping instructions via our website, you will receive an automated e-mail confirmation that we have your shipping instructions and can assume that we will be shipping your wine during the week you have chosen. Given the possibility of mis-directed e-mail and other correspondence, however, if you do not receive an e-mail message directly from the carrier or if you do not receive personal correspondence from us during that week which confirms that your wine is on the way, please contact us directly to be sure that we have received your shipping instructions. | |
