Proper Care & Storage

To help you best care for your wine we’re sharing a few notes on the proper care and storage of our wines:

• When wine is shipped it can experience ‘bottle-shock’. Think of it as the vinous version of jet-lag. We know. You can’t wait to uncork that bottle. We feel the exact same way. However, we highly recommend allowing your wine to rest for a bit before opening. Ideally, letting your wine rest for at least two weeks after shipment is best.
• Wine is delicate and easily damaged by extreme changes in temperature. For this reason, we use a temperature controlled warehouse and work with carriers to make sure your wine stays safe all along it’s journey. Likewise, time spent sitting in a hot (or freezing) car can also damage your wine. We highly recommend transferring your wine to a temperature controlled place in your home as soon as possible after delivery.
• It’s not neccesary to have perfect cellar conditions, but we do recommend storing your bottles on their sides in a cool, dark place that isn’t affected by extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
