SHIPMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES

All wines are sold in California and title passes to the buyer in California. We make no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import wine into any state outside of California. The buyer is solely responsible for the shipment of wines. By placing an order you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order where you wish. We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes. Wines may be sold and delivered only to persons at least 21 years old, and only for personal use, not for resale or trade. In placing your order you represent to us you are at least 21 years old and that the person to whom your wine will be delivered is at least 21 years old. Shippers may not leave packages without obtaining a sober adult signature. We recommend using a business address if you are not home during business hours.

HEAT DAMAGE

We are very careful to maintain proper storage temperature for our wines within our facility. Exposure to heat during shipping impacts all characteristics of a wine, by speeding up all the chemical reactions involved in normal aging, and causing reactions that are not involved in normal aging. Wine exposed to heat will smell and taste old before its time and may also show cooked aromas or flavors that were not there before and would not have developed had the wine not been exposed to heat. Sometimes a heated wine will expand enough it pushes the cork a little bit out of the bottle and leaks out. A pushed cork and a leaky bottle are obvious visual indicators that a bottle has been exposed to heat, but the absence of these two symptoms does not guarantee that the wine has not been exposed to heat.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

You must be 21 years of age or older, to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Preston Parker Wines. Receipt of shipments containing alcoholic beverages requires the signature of a sober adult (a person 21 years of age or older who is not intoxicated). Wines purchased from Preston Parker Wines are not for resale, and are for personal consumption only.

CREDIT CARD CHARGES

Orders are by credit card only. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

MINIMUM PURCHASE

No minimum purchase is required.

SHIPPING COSTS

Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment. Preston Parker Wines is not responsible for, and will not replace wine damaged by extreme weather conditions during shipment. When your wine order is picked up by the common carrier for delivery, responsibility for the wine becomes the responsibility of the purchaser.
