RETURN POLICY – 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
At Sinegal Estate, we are committed to crafting the best wines possible. With that, we are proud to offer a full satisfaction guarantee on all of the wines you purchase from us.
How do I return my wine?
If you’re not 100% satisfied with any of the wines you receive from us, simply contact us at (707) 244-1187 within six months of purchase and we’ll happily send you a replacement.
What do I do if the wine I ordered is damaged?
Despite our best efforts to secure wine shipments, wine bottles are fragile, and issues arise from time to time. Contact us at (707) 244-1187, and we will rectify the situation quickly
Please note that we will happily replace any wines purchased directly from the winery, given that they are still available; however, we cannot replace wines purchased from other wine retailers or restaurants. In rare instances, we reserve the right to deny our return policy to customers who we suspect are attempting to abuse the policy.
Delivery & Will Call
Legal Requirements
You must be 21 years of age or older, to order or receive alcoholic beverages from Sinegal Estate. Receipt of shipments containing alcoholic beverages requires the signature of a sober adult (a person 21 years of age or older who is not intoxicated). Wines purchased from Sinegal Estate are not for resale and are for personal consumption only.
Weather Holds & Fall Shipments
Unless specifically requested, we avoid shipping May-September. Outside of this window, we ship orders when in-transit temperatures are below 78 degrees. As a result, the majority of our orders ship from October to December. Exact timing may vary by several weeks based on order volume and wine release dates.
States Authorized for Direct Shipment | Tax & Shipping Rates
Currently, we ship directly to the following states (taxes vary by state and zip*): AK, AZ (5.6%-9.6%), CA (7.25%-11.5%), CO, CT (6.35%), DC, FL, GA (4%-9%), HI (4%-4.5021%), IA, KY(13.4), IL (6.25%), IN (7%), KS (8%), LA (4.45%), MA, ME (5.5%) MD (9%), MI (6%), MN, MO, NE (5.5%-7.5%), NV (4.6%-8.265%), NJ (7%), NM (5.13%), NY (4%-8.875%), NC (4.75%-7.5%), ND (7%-10%), OH (5.75%-8%), OR, PA (6%-8%), SC (6%-9%), TN (7%-9.75%), TX (6.25%), VA (4.3%-6%), VT (6%-7%), WA (6.5%-10.4%), WI (5%-5.6%), WY (16%).

Will Call Orders
Due to limited storage, we are unable to accommodate will-call orders on the property. Instead, we are able to offer a solution via VinFillment, our logistics partner, for a fee of $16. Simply provide us a 48-hour notice and we will arrange to have your order(s) picked up at 644 Hanna Dr., Suite A | American Canyon, CA 94503. Availability: 830am – 430pm (M-F).

We must receive your notice of cancellation at least one week before the next shipment for it to be effective before that shipment.
Wine is a Delicate Commodity
Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment. Sinegal Estate chooses shipping dates very carefully. If the customer specifies a unique shipping date it is the responsibility of the customer to reschedule shipment due to temperature.
Decanting and Storage
We recommend letting our wines rest for a few years before opening. However, if you can’t wait, open the bottle the night before you plan to enjoy it. Pour out half a glass of wine, then place the cork back in and store it upright in a cool place. As many of you are aware, wine is delicate so we recommend storing in an area that never exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

AGE VERIFICATION
You must be of legal age to use the Site or to purchase any alcoholic beverage. If you wish to purchase any alcohol-containing beverage from us, you may be required to provide personal information sufficient to verify that you are over 21 years of age. If you do not provide information to verify that you are of legal age, we cannot provide any services to you.

TRANSACTIONS
We use your information for transactions with you including fulfilling wine deliveries and confirming winery visit appointments.

Any sensitive information (such as credit card number) that we collect from you is tokenized and masked. Although we use our best efforts to protect the security of your information and our system, and we have agreements in place with our service providers requiring them to do the same, no transmission via the internet or storage of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Therefore, you assume that risk by using the Site.

We require all such service providers and third parties to keep any information they receive confidential, maintain the privacy of all our customers, and to use any information provided to only provide services on behalf of us and you.
From time to time, we may also employ other companies and individuals to perform services, to maintain and operate the Site, and to maintain certain features on the Site. To such parties, we may disclose personal and non-personal information such as traffic patterns and website usage data; but in no event will we disclose any personal information for those other companies or individuals’ use other than assisting us.
