Wine is fragile and can be damaged when exposed to extreme temperatures. During winter and summer seasons we delay shipment for orders that will be subjected to temperatures below 32 degrees or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit along transit routes to destination points. Expedited shipping options can mitigate exposures to these temperatures, but we generally recommend to ship only when temperatures are optimal to be sure that your wine arrives in top quality. All orders on weather hold will rest in our temperature controlled cellars until they are cleared for shipping. Accumulated orders during a weather hold period will be grouped together for shipping and rates will be subsidized. If you want an update on a status of an order on hold contact clubt@testarossa.com.
