Preserving the integrity of your wine during shipping is a responsibility we take very seriously at SommSelect. Summer Shipping is now activated! Read on for more details: 

Hold States: 

Due to the extreme heat that persists for the majority of the summer season, we will not be offering shipping to these states from June-August. All orders shipping to these states will automatically be placed on Summer Hold for a flat fee of $25 and shipped in the fall when the temperatures have decreased and it is safe to ship. This includes Wine Shop, Concierge, Build a Case, and Wine Club shipments. 

Hold States: Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas and Nevada. 

Safe Summer Shipping: 

For non-Hold States, will continue to ship orders while taking additional precautions to protect your wine during transit. If the average temperature in your state exceeds 85 degrees, there will be a temporary Extreme Heat Hold placed on all orders traveling to the state. These shipments will be released as soon as temperatures have dropped below 85 degrees. This applies to all Wine Shop, Concierge, Build a Case, and Wine Club shipments. 

Extreme Heat Holds:

Every Monday, our team evaluates the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service to determine if we can ship wine safely to your state. When temperatures reach 85 degrees, Climate Controlled Ground shipping cannot guarantee your wine will be safe in transit. If it is not safe to ship, we will hold until the following Monday, when temperatures will be reevaluated. 

If your state is under an Extreme Heat Hold, you'll be notified both at checkout and via email. You will receive tracking information for your wine when it has been deemed safe to ship.
