03Frequently asked
Ordering this wine.
How do I buy this wine?
Founders Reserve is released once a year to Cellar Club members and is not sold individually. Join the club to receive your allocation.
Where do you ship?
We ship to thirty-eight eligible states. Sign-on-delivery is required and the recipient must be 21 or older. The full state list appears at checkout.
Is this wine estate-grown?
Yes. Every Calicheridge wine is grown on our own twenty-eight acres east of Fredericksburg, fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly neutral oak.
How should I store and serve it?
Keep it cool and on its side until you open it. Reds show best with a short decant; whites are happiest lightly chilled, not cold.
