Just cancelled one of my wine clubs for stupidity

Posted by jimbill on July 29, 2015 at 15:52:21:
I've been receiving wine club offerings for about a year from Spring Valley Vineyards in Washington. They're owned now by Columbia Crest Wines. Not a small operator.

Their wines are usually good to very good, especially for the price. Cabs, Merlots, Cab Franc, etc..

They sent my fall shipment of two bottles by UPS today! It's 100 degrees here in Houston, TX! When I opened the box they were as hot as hell. One cork had a little seepage and the other bottles capsule was puffed up. I immediately sent them a cancellation email.

Every other wine club or mailing list I belong to hold wines for weather until usually late October or early November.
