The container from Croatia finally arrived at our warehouse today

The container from Croatia finally arrived at our warehouse today

What a strange world we live in today. For many pandemic-related reasons, the global supply chain is broken. It is difficult to schedule a container, difficult to schedule a slot on a ship, difficult for ships to get into container ports for loading and unloading, and difficult to schedule trucks to transport the containers to and from the ports.

The container that finally arrived today at our main warehouse in Franklin, MA contains wine that was originally packaged on pallets for shipment in February 2021. We were able to break that initial planned large shipment of wine into 3 smaller shipments that one-by-one found their way across the Atlantic, with the last one finally arriving today.

This is the world we live in today. It is both frustrating and exhausting. For our part, we accept that it is what it is, and do what we have to do.

It will take us 2-3 weeks to process the new shipment, and transport some of the wines to the Online Store fulfillment warehouse in Windsor, CA (assuming we can find a truck). We really hope you enjoy the wines.

Živjeli, Mirena and Win
