Greetings Winos. There seems to be a bit of confusion with regards to Internet Sales aka Direct to Consumer Sales, National Distribution and International Distribution. Were go to attempt to draw up a guide here to help you track down our Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards wines. Direct Internet Sales: This means selling directly to you, the consumer. You buy from us, we ship to you, provided you are in a state that allows us to do so. Of course you must be 21 or over. Duh. Currently winos living in the following states can sign up for the Velvet Sippers Club and/or purchase wines off of our website, CADUCEUS.org Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Soon to be added to this list are New York, New Jersey, and in January, Massachusetts. Of course we generally do not ship during the hottest times of the year since all packages must go through Phoenix on their way to you. We do start taking pre-orders between August 1st and Sept 1st and usually are able to begin shipping at the end of September/beginning of October, weather permitting. National Distribution: This means we have established a relationship with a wine distributor/wholesaler in your state, and they in turn sell our wines to a local retailer. We of course prefer that they, the distributors, sell to a Small, Independently Owned and Operated bottle shop and or restaurant as opposed to chain stores or restaurants. Currently we have relationships with the following distributors/wholesalers in the following states: Arizona- Quench Fine Wines & Spirits California- Garber & Co Colorado- Classic Wines Connecticut- Martin Scott Wines District of Columbia (Virginia, Maryland, D.C.) Siema Wines Georgia- Prime Wine and Spirits Illinois- Maverick Wine Company Michigan- Veritas Nevada- Vin Savage New Mexico- Fiasco Fine Wines, Spirits & Beer New York- Martin Scott Wines New Jersey- Martin Scott Wines North Carolina- Siema Wines Texas- Pioneer Wine Company Our website has a Store Locator feature under CONTACT that we try our best to keep updated, but of course were a small company and sometimes were not always on top of things. Also, we are in the process of seeking distribution in a few more states, including Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida. If you have a favorite small independent bottle shop or restaurant that focuses on hand crafted, artisan, small production wines from a family owned and operated winery, then urge them to contact the distributor listed above. If youre in a state not listed above, figure out who your local hands on wine distributor is, and urge them to look into our wines, Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards. (To clear up any confusion, we are no longer associated with Arizona Stronghold.) International Distribution: Currently our level of production doesnt support International Distribution except in a few specific territories/states in a couple select countries. Alberta, Canada- Crimson Imports And NSW, Australia- MI Wines in Sydney We hope that helps with any questions you may have. We are extremely grateful for your interest in our efforts here in Arizona. Its been a long and difficult journey to get where we are now. And the journey isnt over. So again, we thank you for your overwhelming support.
