Product Information

Vintage Substitution - What is vintage substitution? Why was a different vintage shipped than what I ordered?

Many of our wines are labeled with a specific vintage (year of production). Occasionally, a vintage may sell out and no longer be available. In those rare cases, our staff may select a similar available vintage to complete your order.

Why is the label on the wine I received different than the image on your website?

Wineries occasionally change labels in new vintage years.
