Mines arriving monday, weather expected to be 89* hope it doesnt get ruined

My order was supposed to ship on 4/23, but no tracking info. Wonder if they put it on a weather hold? I sent them an email to inquire. Not important that i get it now or in the fall, but i sure don’t want to cook it in transit.

Mine also arrives Monday but my weather is pretty mild - no worries here. Can’t wait to see all the notes / methods of preparation…anyone planning to slow-ox? :wink:

received an email on Wed that mine is on weather hold to Texas. No problem for them to hold it.

Just received mine. Nice, but not over-the-top, packaging. Now, I just need to decide when to try my first bottle.

Styro? Any protection from heat. I wish they had weather held mine. This week is 60’s next week is high 80’s

The box style is the same as recent Hierothesion and all Andremily. No real heat protection, just a box inside another box.

Mine landed today. Picked up at Walgreens after work (was delivered at 10:30am there). Heavy cardboard packaging… no stryo. The bottles seemed cool to the touch.

I like the simplicity of the packaging, but would prefer these and others (MacDonald, Kinsman, etc) used a styro “shell” around the cardboard box. These wines certainly are not inexpensive and an extra precaution would be comforting.

What bottle size they working with? Bordeaux friendly storage size or big boys?

I store my in the lay flat box… I think its a bit oversized but will check

Well, my order to GA has been put on a weather hold until fall. Not a problem as I wasn’t going to be drinking them anytime soon, but would have been nice if they had reached out to let me know. Instead, I had to inquire as to the shipping status. And, no, it wasn’t updated on their website when I inquired.

Same here.

I like the packaging. Same as La Pelle, Andremily, and a few others. Seems efficient and safe.

Just received. Simple packaging & bottle art, but I like it.

Good to see the wine is being delivered. Look forward to the thoughts and inevitable discussion from those of you that pull a cork soon!

My order, which was also put on weather hold, has just shipped and yours may as well. I was actually hoping they would hold until the fall as it’s already quite hot here in SC. Fingers crossed…

I hope that they at least shipped cold chain to the east coast. Just rechecked my order. It doesn’t appear as though there is any movement in my order.

I hope your shipment arrives without incident.

A friend ordered a 3-pack and we’re planning to share a bottle within the next month. Will post our impression.
