Happy New Year!

We've had lots of rain the last few days while you've read about the 8 feet of snow hitting the Sierras.  This photo taken yesterday is to prove to you that there is indeed a pot of gold in our Rennie Vineyard!

Direct Shipping- Now 18 States

In 2004 we filed many pages of paperwork and are pleased to announce that we now can ship directly to more states than ever before!  Keep in mind that shipping wine in the US is still a patchwork of state laws, with monthly or yearly limitations on quantities and some states charging sales tax. We will do our best to provide you with the wines you order, when you want them, within these regulations.

If you are curious, this link will take you to a state by state analysis of wine laws: www.wineinstitute.org/shipwine/analysis/state_analysis.htm. Also, the US Supreme Court has recently agreed to review these laws, and may issue a national standard, but probably not in 2005. We will keep you informed about any changes.
Here is the good news: We can currently ship to these 18 states.
 

Alaska

(Anchorage area only)
Illinois
Oregon
California
Missouri 
Virginia - new
Georgia - new
Nevada
Washington
Hawaii (Honolulu & Maui)
New Hampshire - new
West Virginia
Iowa
New Mexico
Wisconsin
Idaho
North Carolina - new
Wyoming

 

We will be able to ship to Lousiana soon, probably some time in February, and expect to be adding more states as the year progresses. If you don’t see your state listed, give us a call and we will do our best to try to find a way to get you the Yorkville Cellars wines you want.

 

 

As always we sincerely want to thank you for your continued interest in our wines and fantastic support!
