If you need to ship some wine, this is the only place on the Peninsula that can do it for you legally. The Packaging Co has the proper licenses to ship alcohol and they handle shipping for several small wineries. I've shipped several cases with them on two different occasions, and they are 100% reliable.
Just bring your bottles and they will put them in a styrofoam wine-shipper and send it via FedEx or UPS. They charge about $60 to ship a case to NYC via FedEx Ground , which is pretty reasonable. (If you took a case to a FedEx Office and lied and told them it was grape juice, it would cost you about $50 and you would have to provide the shipper). They can also ship faster if you want.
My only caveat about this place is they are primarily B2B and aren't set-up very well to deal with walk-in customers. Be sure and call before you go to make sure someone will be there when you arrive. The storefront doesn't have a sign, just a street address, and you will probably have to park on the sidewalk in-front. Their front door is locked and you have to press a doorbell to enter, or maybe even call them from your cellphone if they don't hear the doorbell. It's pretty spartan inside, but that's OK with me. read more
