Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.


Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Domaine Kuentz-Bas

Domaine Kuentz-Bas represents over two centuries of Alsatian winemaking tradition. Located in Husseren-les-Châteaux, the village at the highest elevation on the Alsace Wine Route, the estate was founded by the Kuentz family in 1795. The domaine took its current form through a marriage joining the Kuentz and Bas families in 1895.

In 2004, the property was sold to Jean-Baptiste Adam, the fourteenth generation of a winemaking family active since 1614. Under his leadership, both domaines converted to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate is certified organic since 2007 and biodynamic since 2008, farming 10 hectares of biodynamically certified and 6 hectares of organically certified vineyards on vines aged 25 to 45 years.

Wines are vinified either in century-old oak foudres for complexity and micro-oxygenation, or in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit aromatics. The estate's Grand Cru sites Eichberg and Pfersigberg represent up to 30% of production. Kuentz-Bas continues to produce wines that faithfully express Alsatian terroir through minimal intervention refined over more than two centuries.

Wine region

Alsace, France

The Alsace wine region, located in northeastern France along the Rhine River, is renowned for its exceptional aromatic white wines. The Vosges Mountains to the west create a rain shadow effect, making Alsace one of the driest wine regions in France. Its vineyards cover approximately 15,500 hectares under three appellations: Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru AOC, and Crémant d'Alsace AOC. Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat are the cornerstone grapes, known for producing expressive, food-friendly wines. The Alsace Wine Route, established in 1953, spans 170 kilometers through villages including Strasbourg, Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr, Kaysersberg, and Colmar.
