I am receiving a shipment of futures from the Oregon Pinot Noir Club today. It is travelling through the high country, and we are in the deep freeze, after our first winter storm dumped two feet of snow last week. If the wine does not freeze (liquid temperature in the teens), is there any harm to my wine? The club (Robert Wolfe, resident) promises to replace if the wine breaks.
Most stores call or email before they ship, but this one looks at (inaccurate) weather reports and makes a unilateral decision. Nice outfit other than their shipping policy.
