About Us

---

​At Macchia Wines, we recognize and respect our customers' privacy. We diligently protect the trust you have placed in us. We have developed a Privacy Policy to assure you that the information collected about you is only what is needed for conducting business and offering products and services that might be of interest to you.

Our Policy
Federal and California state law requires us to request identification from each consumer to prove that you are of age to legally purchase alcohol. To process an order, we need your name, home, or other physical address, including street name and name of city or town, email address, telephone number, date of birth, and credit card number. We understand the sensitivity of this information and maintain our files on a secured server to protect against unauthorized access. In addition to obtaining personal information, we may collect tracking information for statistical purposes, which is disclosed to third parties for statistical purposes only. This aggregate information is for statistical purposes only. It is for understanding consumer trends and does not contain any personal information about you. WE DO NOT AND WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, SELL PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

Personal Information and Data Gathering
Macchia Wines often uses third-party development partners to assist in online development and deployment as well as in data and information collection. These companies are strictly bound by our privacy policy covered below, as well as by all other conventions and business practices of Macchia Wines concerning user information and data from online sources. For the purposes of this document, the terms "We," "Us" and Macchia Wines will also represent these third-party developers.

We collect anonymous information from visits to our site to help us understand the usage patterns of our site and to provide better customer service. Information collected in this manner is provided automatically by your system and the systems that you use to connect to our site. For example, we keep track of what time people enter our site, how long they stay on the site, and what sections they visit on the site. This information is kept in aggregate, anonymous format. We use this information to better tailor our site for our visitors and their usage patterns, as well as to gauge performance and other measures of the site, again in anonymous and aggregate format.

Cookies are sometimes used to further track usage patterns of the site by users in aggregate and anonymous format. Cookies left on your system by our site are sometimes used for the purpose of allowing users the convenience of not having to re-enter usernames and passwords on our site. However, no username or password information is kept on your local machine. Only a unique identifier is kept on your system that will allow you to access the records stored on our secure, password-protected server(s). No financial or personal information will ever be left on your system in the form of a cookie.

Registration is required to use certain features of our site. We will collect general contact information, such as name and e-mail address, as well as demographic information, such as age, gender, and zip code. Data collected from online user-completed forms is stored in secure, password-protected server locations. Demographic information collected is used to help us, or our partners, to analyze our aggregate user base and better tailor our site, promotions, or other features to better serve that user base. Contact information is also used to better understand our user base.

From time to time, Macchia Wines will contact our registered users who have opted in to be e-mailed with promotional information that we feel would be applicable to, and desired by that user. At any time a user wishes to opt out of these e-mails, they may do so by contacting info@macchiawines.com. Once opted out, the user will not receive any further communication from us, aside from any system messages that are necessary to that user in specific transactions, such as e-commerce order summaries.

Further use of personal information and data gathered by Macchia Wines
Macchia Wines will occasionally utilize partners and vendors to assist it in the analysis of the data and information collected by our sites. This information is used in aggregate and anonymous format for the purpose of better tailoring our website, promotions, or other company endeavors to better suit our user base. This information is shared with our partners and vendors only on an as-needed basis. Financial information will never be shared with any organization other than those necessary for completing the financial transaction required.

On occasion, Macchia Wines will sponsor sweepstakes and other promotions that are managed by third-party organizations. Information and data gathered in those instances will be held by a third party and will normally be shared with Macchia Wines. Once shared with Macchia Wines, that data and information are subject to Macchia Wines stated privacy policy. Information and data retained by the third party will be subject to the privacy policy stated by the third party. Macchia Wines will make a reasonable best effort to have the third party utilize that information in accordance with Macchia Wines' stated privacy policy. However, it cannot take final responsibility for the third party's actions.

Macchia Wines may share any data and information gathered on its branded websites with other internal Macchia Wines branded website owners and managers. Information shared will still be subject to this privacy policy.

Information and data gathered solely by Macchia Wines will never be sold, traded, or shared with third parties for any other reason other than for assisting Macchia Wines in its analysis, research, and promotional needs.

This site may contain links to other sites. Macchia Wines is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.

Store Policies

Shipments of Wine
Due to legal restrictions on shipments of wine and other alcoholic beverages, we are only permitted to ship to the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Tax will be charged for all states that require tax to be received.

All wine orders must be placed by a person 21 years of age or older. Verification of age is required at the time of delivery. We recommend the use of a business address to facilitate the delivery of your purchase. Wine will not be delivered to a visibly intoxicated person. Failure to produce age verification forfeits the right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or it may be shipped back to the winery. All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.

Orders are usually processed within 24 to 48 hours of being received, weather permitting. All shipments are made on Monday through Thursday only to prevent your wine from sitting in a storage area over the weekend. We will not ship during extreme temperatures. All shipments are shipped ground unless otherwise stated. Please allow 5-7 business days for normal delivery. Freight is calculated towards the end of the online ordering process. Also, at this time, we do not ship online store products outside the United States.

1. Please contact the Tasting Room as soon as possible, either by phone, fax, or email.
