Become familiar with our website. Monitor the “New Arrivals“ page which lists 24 wines and is updated weekly. Search the 12 different categories listed. Click on each wine entry to open page for background and tasting notes/ratings. TIP! Use the search tool in upper lefthand corner!
What if your store does not carry my favorite wine?
We can special order just about any wine you want. If a restaurant or retail chain stocks it, we can order it and most likely beat any price. Save on shipping! Special discounts for case purchases. Let us be your shopper.
How do you make your wine selections for the store?
Samples, samples, samples! 95% of every wine we stock is pre-determined by our personal assessment. The exceptions are based on our previous experience with the wine and its track record.
How does one order?
We removed the “shopping cart”, that is, the e-commerce from our webstore because we want to encourage having a personal wine relationship with you. Everyone has a different palate, and we want to be certain you are purchasing a wine that will meet your expectations. To order, just give us a phone call at 916 721-WINE (9463) or email us at info@thewineconsultant.com. ALL invoiced orders must be secured by a valid credit card (Visa, MC or Discover). Or better yet, come by the store!
What about shipping in California and out-of-state?
Of course, we ship everywhere in California NEXT DAY via of GLS. Our focus is on the western states, but we can arrange delivery almost anywhere except UTAH and Hawaii. Adult signature required at time of delivery. Just ASK!
Do you have a local delivery service?
Yes, we use an independent courier service. Just let us know the day before so we can schedule. Cost to downtown Sacramento or Granite Bay is just $11 for up to one case. And just another dollar for each additional case. If you are local to the Fair Oaks area, if possible, we will personally deliver free.
Do you store wine?
No! Please, we ask of you to pick up your wine orders timely, or to arrange for delivery. We have limited space and are not in the wine storage business. Your purchased wine is not our responsibility, and we are not liable for any kind of loss, damage or theft. Btw – during the summer months we keep the temperature inside the store at 66 degrees.
