Shipping shock

[Joanie]

Is there such a thing and how long should you wait before opening wines that have shipped across the country?

Ive read it depends on how they were handled(bruised wine) but couldnt say from experience.

Joan,
You have to wait long enough for us to get there. We will call when we are about 30 minutes out so you can get the cheese and crackers out to go with it.

Joan, if it was shipped by airplane I would suggest a month (as I have shipped this way before. If it was driven, most likely it doesn't need to wait as long. i did fly back a bottle from LA when I was there last and opened it a few days after getting home.... It tasted a little different. When I waited to open another, I didn't notice.

I still think that we should all head that way and help Joan enjoy her new wine!

LOL It's not my new wine! I sent some of mine to my brothers.
