So you just got your first order of Peony Lane.

You held Bitcoin through the last bear market.

You deserve a glass.

WAIT.

Sit back down.

This wine needs a minute.

Shipping is hard on wine.

The temperature swings alone can mess with it. But the real problem is the shaking.

My wines are unfined and unfiltered. That means they’ve got sediment in them—and that sediment gets stirred up in transit. It changes the texture, clouds the appearance, and dulls the wine.

Even wines I know by heart taste off right after shipping, but hey come back after a few days of rest.

Here’s what to do:

Let the bottles sit upright in a cool, dark place for at least 3 to 7 days. No fridge or cellar needed, but you have to be patient.

Then open one.

You’ll see why the wait was worth the wait.
