By placing an order on BPWM's website, you submit that you are 21 years of age or older, and that you understand and agree to the Alcohol Beverage Control laws in your state

What our status categories mean:

In stock: This denotes a wine that is physically in our warehouse, ready at a moments notice for shipping or pickup.

In Transit: this denotes a wine we have purchased and is on the way to us. Typically this means a refrigerated truck has been scheduled and the wine is enroute. We always make a point to give you our best estimate of arrival time in the wine description. It also denotes wines that are “readily available” from our local distributors/brokers.

Pre-arrival: this denotes wines that are available to us from our top suppliers. When you inquire about a pre-arrival wine, we contact our supplier to ensure the wine is still available, then contact you for order confirmation, payment, and expected delivery time. The order is then placed at the supplier and arrangements to ship the wine are made.

v      All orders, regardless of status, must be paid in full at the time of ordering/confirmation unless otherwise specifically noted.

Legal words:

v      By placing an order with Blicker-Pierce Wine Merchants, you assert that you are 21 years of age or more. You are responsible for understanding the laws regarding alcohol shipments in your state.

v      Any wine sold to you by BPWM is sold in California, and title passes to you, the buyer, in California.

v      All orders being delivered to a California address will be charged 7.75% sales tax at the time of the order.

 Return Policy

BPWM generally cannot accept returns of wine in your possession longer than 9 months, as we have no way of knowing your specific storage conditions. We hope you understand.

BPWM guarantees the excellent provenance of the wine it sells. We will happily return, refund, credit, or exchange bottles that suffer from the following conditions:

v      “Cooked” wine or wine that is clearly showing signs of improper storage. Ideally we will ask for a partial bottle sent back to us.

v      Wine that is leaking on arrival.

v      Incorrect fulfillment (wrong vintage, etc.)

v      Shipping problems that are clearly the fault of the shipper or BPWM.

v      Wines with conditions not noted (torn labels, etc.)

Please note: None of these should happen!

We generally do not accept wine for return that is “corked” (this is a matter that is 100% out of our control and is an issue to take up with the winery) if the wine is older than 1 year from its release date, or wine that you simply don’t like. That said, tell us why and we’ll probably offer you a spirited debate and something to make you feel better.
