Tasting notes

The Tropics is a Spring time orange wine, a wildly aromatic, hydrating skin contact wine that smells like the first citrus buds of the season and tastes juicy stone fruit at peak-summer ripeness. It is recommended cold, for lunch or a post-dinner bottle, and is light with a burst of tropical energy.

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

Jumbo Time Wines

Omar Koukaz and Jonathan Yadegar founded Jumbo Time Wines, a natural wine project, in Los Angeles during 2020. The head winemaker is Jason Phillips.

Jumbo Time Wines works with organically grown fruit, dry farmed and biodynamic when possible, and practices zero intervention in the cellar, with wines free of additives like acidification agents, color enhancers, filtration, sulfur, and commercially made yeast.

The team enters harvest with an eye on the varietals they love and a loose idea of the types of wine they want to bottle, proceeds with different methods of experimentation, then finalizes cuvées by blending various barrels of juice they have produced, working with individual fermentations of each grape to determine what combination makes sense in the glass together.

Wine region
