I’ve gotten a number of calls and emails about shipping. We did include a note about shipping dates on the back of the order form but I think next time I need to put it on the front where it’s easier to find.
We’re going to start shipping the first week of November. This year we decided to wait until after all the picking was done before shipping. Last year we tried to manage both at the same time and it was too much. Shipping is pretty labor intensive and time consuming but it also takes up a lot of office time. Stef ends up spending a couple hours each day during shipping season answering phone calls and emails and sending out tracking numbers.
We thought it would be better to do that when she’s not having to spend all day out in the vineyard so that’s why we waited to ship. We expect everything will go out by Thanksgiving. We’ll likely start working from East to West so that everyone has wine by the Thanksgiving weekend. If you need yours sooner let us know.
