Legalese

Sale of Alcoholic Beverages:

You must be over the age of 21 to purchase alcohol. Domaine 547 makes every effort to ensure that alcoholic beverages are not sold or delivered to anyone who is under the age of 21. By using this site and placing an order you guarantee to us that you are 21 years of age. Proof of age at time of delivery will require positive ID.

Shipping Restrictions:

Some states do not allow the direct shipment of wine. Please consult your local Alcohol Beverage Control board regarding your local and state laws. Domaine 547 makes no claims or representations concerning the laws in other states regarding shipping or importation of wines and all buyers assume all risk with regard to this service. All wines are sold in California and title passes to you in California. There are certain states that we can not and will not ship to, and the buyer must arrange for storage or delivery by his own means. Additionally, the buyer is responsible for the shipping charges on any returned non-wine merchandise.

Returns:

If for any reason you are not pleased with your purchase, simply send back the non-wine item(s) within 30 days of purchase, with receipt, and we will gladly replace, exchange or offer store-credit in return. It is not legal for Domaine 547 to take returns of alcohol purchases; however, we do realize that wine is a living, volatile substance and sometimes can display faults beyond our control.

Not that we want to encourage complaints, but we urge you to trust your palate, since when something tastes ‘wrong’, even to a novice wine drinker, it often is spoiled. If you should encounter a corked or spoiled bottle, please call us to discuss and we will come up with an arrangement that is both legal and will leave you a satisfied customer.

Additionally, the buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges associated with returned non-wine items.

Extreme Weather:

Domaine 547 will not be held responsible for any damages to wines incurred during extreme weather. Weather damage is not covered by insurance. Shipping is therefore at your own risk. Shipping Holds may be instituted by Domaine 547 during periods of extreme weather to protect your merchandise, or they may be requested by a buyer. However, if a buyer chooses to override mandated shipping holds, Domaine 547 will ship the order on the next available ship date, with the buyer assuming sole responsibility for the goods. Please check local weather before placing orders as Domaine 547 will not be responsible for any damage due to harsh weather conditions.

what's all this, then?

Domaine 547 is a community meant for people who want to come along with us on our journey, as we learn about the world of wine.

It’s a point of view, that says wine need not be put on a pedestal or saved for special occasions, but should instead be a part of everyday life—because life is just that much better with a glass of wine in your hand (unless, of course, you are an alcoholic or under the age of 21).

Domaine 547 is a virtual tour guide, a way for all of us to travel the globe, even when our wallets and schedules might not permit physically doing so.

Mostly, it’s a place without pretensions, where we can drink, learn, communicate, and probably drink some more. And of course, there is no snobbery or attitude allowed.
