Something to think about

[Innkeeper]

Hi Twojack and welcome to the Wine Board. All the above are possibilities. Visit Napa Valley someday in July or August, and I can almost promise you that at least one hotshot platz you will find cases of very expensive juice sitting on a loading platform in the burning sun! The bottom line is that if you receive a bad bottle from a retailer or a bad shipment you can always bring or send it back. We never order wine during the summer ever though we get dozens of hard to resist offers from wineries and retailers alike.
