Summer shipping is in effect so don’t worry about your wine.
Every winery needs a separate license from each state which is why your state isn’t listed.

If this was just the Zin, I’d be all over it. Even if it was 4 bottles of Zin vs. 2 of the Cab, somehow I would muddle through. But only 2 of the 6 bottles? Not this time.
2009 Lake County Zin was HERE in a March 8 2011 woot-off.
Can someone confirm the no shipping to Oregon thing? I bought their Pinot via Woot! last year; unless their license expired, they should be able to ship to OR…
A question for the winery. What is a neutral aging? Is this another kind of barrel or is this stainless steel?
This thread is crying out for a reference to Malik Shabazz.
Has the winery ever considered dedicating a special vintage to Malcolm? I would definitely buy that.
In the meantime, I’m in for one.
I really like the idea of the Zin being organically farmed. How about the cab’s? There’s no information on that. Does anyone here have any insight on that?
And Happy Diamond Jubilee
I’ve shipped from X winery to North Carolina before, but it’s not on the list…what gives?

Neutral aging usually means the wines are aged in neutral barrels. Barrels become neutral barrels when they no longer give off any oak flavors. This not my winery, just answering the question.
I suppose I should thank the lack of response to this for saving me $90-175.
From the Winery website shipping page:

Wow. Dearth of discussion here…

Huh. Weird. Wonder how I got the last order…
(and I guess I should thank the winery then, but it’s kind of a shame, as their pinot was astoundingly good)

State licenses are generally up for renewal every year…
Also, sometimes there’s a slip-up. I ordered wine during a woot off from a really superb vintner - a Zin during a woot-off - without checking the list of states they ship to.
Apparently, the winery also forgot to check, because they shipped the wine even though we’re not on their list.
I’d tell you who they are, but I don’t want to cause them problems. The Zin is very, very good, though. Slightly blended. Anyway, it happens. Now if only that vintner could be persuaded to get registered in my state. I’d order again in a flash … but I’d wait for Fall.
So Sorry I am late in posting Wooters! I got my days mixed up! Well better late than never I suppose :^P My name is John Miller and I am the (very ashamed) National Sales Manager for X Winery.
As someone rightly stated below, neutral aging means aging in older barrels While wine aged in neutral barrels receives little oak impact, the wine does evolve complexity through the aging process.

Thank you for the woot! I will take your Malcolm suggestion to marketing.
