What is "Remaining Allocation"?

Each customer receives an allocation of wines available for purchase from the offering during the order period. Your online account displays the remaining allocation of each wine. The allocation will recalculate during the order period depending on how much wine you have ordered.

Please note: Your allocation does not guarantee the availability of the wine; production is limited, and orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

How can I request additional bottles?

If your Remaining Allocation is 0, you may request additional bottles. Enter the quantity desired in the specified column in your shopping cart. Please note that the cost of the requested bottles does not reflect in your initial order total, shipping or taxes. If we are able to fulfill all or part of your additional request, we will automatically recalculate your order.
