Refunds/Exchanges

All sales are final. Wine is a highly perishable item that must be kept in acceptable storage conditions. There is no way to determine if wine that has left the Black Sears warehouse or winery has been damaged due to inadequate storage on behalf of the recipient. By taking posession of wine, either in person or via a shipping carrier, recipient accepts responsibility for its storage and the maintenance of its quality.

Damaged wine caused by shipping is the responsibility of the recipient, and when appropriate, of the carrier.

Black Sears will replace flawed bottles not caused by shipping damage. ("flawed" meaing corked or otherwise tainted)
