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

Fres.co

Fres.co, shorthand for Fresh Wine Co., is a natural wine project led by Jack Sporer, a Sonoma County-based winemaker who began his career working for larger commercial operations in the region before founding his own label focused on low-intervention wines from organically and regeneratively farmed Sonoma Valley fruit. Sporer makes wine at Magnolia Wine Services, a collective custom crush facility in Sonoma that houses a group of like-minded low-intervention producers, sharing infrastructure while maintaining independent winemaking practices.

The Fres.co philosophy centers on a dual commitment: to source exclusively from growers who farm without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, and to vinify without cultured yeasts, fining agents, filtration, or cold stabilization. Growers who work with Fres.co are encouraged and often financially supported to transition toward organic and regenerative practices. Sporer describes the growers as the most important part of the Fres.co equation, and the label shares costs and risks with farmers during the transition away from conventional agriculture to make the shift financially viable for small family vineyards.

In the cellar, Sporer uses ambient yeast and bacteria for all fermentations, works with whole clusters where appropriate, and bottles wines as living products, sometimes with a small sulfur addition at bottling and sometimes without, depending on the cuvée. The Fire Fuego is one of Fres.co's signature wines and is produced as a zero-zero bottling: no sulfur added at any point, and no additions or removals of any kind during vinification.

Fres.co also has a commitment to environmental accountability beyond the vineyard. One percent of all sales is donated to Zero Foodprint, a nonprofit that supports agricultural climate solutions and promotes soil carbon sequestration in farming communities. The label uses ultra-light, domestically produced, recyclable glass bottles to reduce its carbon footprint per case shipped. Fres.co has collaborated with Primal Wine on a limited skin-contact bottling, and Jack Sporer has shown wines at the RAW Wine Fair in Los Angeles.

Wine region

California, United States

Sonoma Valley is one of California's most historically significant wine regions, occupying a roughly 17-mile-long valley in southern Sonoma County, running from the town of Sonoma in the south to Santa Rosa in the north, between the Mayacamas Mountains to the east and the Sonoma Mountains to the west. It was designated California's second AVA in 1981. The region sits directly across the Mayacamas range from Napa Valley but has a distinctly different character: more maritime-influenced, more varied in soil type, and historically home to a broader range of grape varieties.

The Pacific Ocean lies approximately 10 miles to the west, separated from the valley by the Sonoma Mountain ridge. Afternoon marine air and fog from San Francisco Bay and the Petaluma Gap funnel into the valley, moderating temperatures and slowing ripening. The result is a growing season that runs longer than might be expected for such a warm landscape, with cool mornings and evenings helping grapes retain natural acidity alongside ripe fruit character.

Soils across Sonoma Valley are highly varied, reflecting the complex geology of the North Coast. Volcanic basalt, clay, alluvial loam, and rocky benchland soils all appear across different parts of the valley. At Denmark St. Vineyard, where the Fres.co Fire Fuego fruit is grown, the site benefits from the valley's generally well-drained benchland conditions and the moderate temperatures typical of mid-valley Sonoma.

Sonoma Valley has a long record of regenerative and organic viticulture, driven in part by the influence of producers who arrived in the 1970s and 1980s committed to low-input farming as a philosophical position rather than a marketing strategy. That legacy continues in the current generation of natural wine producers and grape growers who have made the valley one of California's most active zones for low-intervention winemaking, with Magnolia Wine Services in Sonoma serving as a hub for many of them.
