UPDATE as of December 17th, 2011: GROUND SHIPPING IS NO LONGER GUARANTEED TO MOST STATES IN TIME FOR THE 25TH. PLEASE SELECT AIR or acknowledge that the wine will arrive after Christmas. Please note that Monday December 26th is a holiday for UPS, with no deliveries made. THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH HOLIDAY VOLUME UPS TRANSIT TIMES CAN BE LONGER AND WINTER STORMS AFFECT DELIVERY. If you select 2 DAY AIR and choose a BUSINESS ADDRESS your packages will arrive on time, guaranteed. Please note we do not mark up shipping whatsoever! We pass on whatever discounted rates we receive as a customer service. Wine is heavy and is regulated to the nth degree, so Air shipping is a necessary cost this time of year.
