- We do not store your credit card information for non-wine club orders
- Our website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
For the highest level of security, we do not save your credit card information electronically. (If you join one of our Wine Clubs we do store your credit card for future billings and mailing.) When you check out using our secure shopping cart, your information is immediately encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and an additional Secure, Encrypted Messaging Protocol" (SCMP) submitted directly to an FDIC approved and backed banking institution. Three additional levels of security are then implemented to best protect your privacy.

To guard your information, our site and transaction system uses SSL which is designed to encrypt your credit card number, name and address to make the data unreadable to those trying to access it.
