SHIPMENTS OF WINE

Due to legal restrictions on shipments of wine and other alcoholic beverages, please see our website for the most up to date list of states we are allowed to ship to.

All wine orders must be placed by a person 21 years of age or older. Verification of age is required at the time of delivery. We recommend use of a business address to facilitate delivery of your purchase if possible as FedX is not able to leave wine at a residence without an adult signature. Wine will not be delivered to a visibly intoxicated person. Failure to produce age verification forfeits the right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or it may be shipped back to the winery. All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.

Freight is calculated towards the end of the online ordering process. Also, at this time we do not ship online store products outside the United States.

During periods of extreme heat, we strongly discourage you from ordering wine. We want you to enjoy the products you purchase and you risk compromising your purchased products due to environmental factors.

RETURNING OR EXCHANGING AN ITEM

We want you to enjoy your purchase! We will replace or refund you for any product that is damaged or flawed. We ask that you return the unfinished portion of the original bottle for replacement. By law, we cannot accept returns of alcoholic beverages unless the product is corked or flawed. We are also unable to accept returns that were damaged due to adverse weather conditions during shipment, or that was ordered in error. Please send an email to info@barraofmendocino.com to arrange for the return of corked or flawed product.

Once we receive your return, we will refund your credit card account for the purchase price, less shipping and handling. If the original shipment was damaged or flawed you will receive a full refund, including shipping and handling charges. 

To return a damaged/flawed wine:

1. Please contact us as soon as possible either by phone (707.485.03221),  or email info@barraofmendocino.com.

2. Clearly explain your dissatisfaction with the product.

3. If the complaint has to do with freight damage, we will work on your behalf to gain reimbursement from the appropriate freight company.

Note: The credit card used for the original purchase will be credited in the amount of the product sale. Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for the credit to appear on your bill. Shipping and handling costs are not refundable unless we have sent the wrong item.

If you need to inquire about your order, please e-mail info@barraofmendocino.com or write to:
