Thanks for the comment! I’ll have to mention what you’ve said in a future post and point out the places like Vinfolio will take possession of your wine and store it for you.

Much appreciated!

The wine is put in storage at 55 degrees immediately. I make sure wine is shipped on MON or TUES. I then transfer the wine to my personal locker at my convenience. Perhaps the biggest advantage of this arrangement is that my wife never sees the constant stream of wine deliveries which tends to insure marital harmony. Also the facility discards and or recycles the shippers so I don't have to be concerned with their disposal. Try it, you will like it.

We had recently written a post about delivery http://grapethinking.com/cutting-costs-on-delivery/ and how to bring down some of the costs. One of the things that it seems many wineries are missing, is that UPS lets you request call ahead for delivery if it is a package that has to be signed for. There is no charge for the service, and it would be nice if more wineries would do this, as it would eliminate some of the 'truck-time", and exposure to extreme temperatures.
