Life as we know it is on hold. We now have a “new normal” in which we are relegated to our homes for the unforeseeable future. As of March 16th, all customer-facing wineries, breweries, bars, nightclubs in California have been closed to the public. The point is to help flatten the curve of the coronavirus spreading throughout the United States. We are home for the foreseeable future to protect ourselves and those around us.

While we cannot travel to wineries and visit them right now. We can still buy their wines and support our local businesses who also need our help in this challenging time. Wineries in California are able to ship directly to consumer homes in most states around the country. With the closing of tasting rooms, many wineries are offering special deals on shipping and more.
