Wine Purchase and Delivery
| Q: Does the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on interstate alcohol shipments allow you to ship wine baskets anywhere in the United States? |
| A: No, we can ship wine gift baskets to recipients 21 years and older living in: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KY, LA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OR, SC, TX, VA, VT, WV, WI, WY; wine baskets containing Little Lakes, Cliffside, Windwhistle Grove, Cloudbanks, Briar Creek, Steeplechase and Talaria Vineyards may also be shipped to NY, VA and WA. The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of opening up interstate commerce but the court does not tell the states how to change their laws. It is up to each state's legislature to react to the ruling and establish and enforce their own alcohol related shipping policies. This will take some time. Check back for an updated list of states where we can deliver wine to; hopefully more states will be added soon! Additionally, You must be 21 years or older to order wine gift baskets. |
