You must be 21 years of age or older, to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Joseph Cellars. Receipt of shipments containing alcoholic beverages requires the signature of a sober adult (a person 21 years of age or older who is not intoxicated). Wines purchased from Joseph Cellars are not for resale, and are for personal consumption only.

You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of (a) any loss or theft of your username or password or (b) any unauthorized or illegal use of your username or password.

States Authorized for Direct Shipment

Due to the ever-changing nature of wine shipping laws, we may or may not be able to ship wines directly to your state. If you would like to make alternate arrangements for the shipping of your order, please contact us. For third party shipping arrangements, the shipping charge will be collected by the alternate shipping party. We cannot ship to a P.O. Box or APO/FPO addresses.

Tax Rates

Wine sold and shipped to customers in states other than California, we will apply those states’ tax rules to your sale.

Shipping Costs

FedEx Ground & GSO is Joseph Cellars carrier of choice (common carrier). Ground shipping is provided by FedEx Ground at current market rates. *Note – If the customer selects UPS Air as his or her carrier, the customer pays all shipping charges, regardless of his or her wine club membership or purchase amount.
Cellar Club enjoy discounted shipping as part of our program

Wine is a Delicate Commodity

Wine is a perishable product. For this reason our shipping policy dictates that we do not ship wine during periods of extreme high or low temperatures, or when we feel there is a high risk of spoilage.

Shipping wine over a weekend can also expose it to unnecessary spoilage risk. For this reason, we make every effort to ship wine club and any other ground shipments only on Mondays. We will ship 2-day air shipments as late as Tuesday, and next day air shipments as late as Wednesday.

You may choose to override our shipping policy, but we will not accept returns for spoiled wine that was not shipped according to our shipping policy. Your credit card will be charged at the time of fulfillment, which happens before a weather hold decision is made. In some case-specific instances we may be able to reroute a shipment after it has been placed on weather hold (change to 2-day or overnight delivery, or hold for pickup), barring logistical constraints.

During the hottest and coldest times of the year, we may not ship at all to certain locations, OR at our discretion may elect to ship via 2nd day delivery—at no additional cost to you—to areas most affected by heat or cold.

While we make every effort to ensure your wine arrives in the same pristine condition as when it left the winery, we cannot control what happens to your shipment in transit. If you feel you have received a damaged bottle, please contact us immediately.
