The proper pronunciation is “day nuh gose”.

For now, our wine shop ONLY accepts orders placed in 6 or 12-bottle increments. Please mix-and-match your wines into 6 and 12 bottle-sized orders only – thank you! All wine futures orders are sold and shipped in either 12-bottle cases or 6-packs.

You may have purchased a Futures product, and those ship once the wine has been bottled. For estimated Futures ship dates, please click here.

Orders containing only Bottle Shop wines ship ASAP.

If you've purchased from our Bottle Shop, please give the wines 5-7 days to settle from their journey in a cool, dark place once you've received them. If you've ordered from our Futures Shop, here's how to best enjoy your wine...

Many of our Futures offers ship immediately after bottling, when wines are undergoing "bottle shock" - a short-term period when wines temporarily lose some flavors/aromas. This goes away after the wine has had some time to settle down. Different wines take different amounts of time to emerge from bottle shock.

---

If your wine was recently bottled, here are some guidelines to follow:

Bold wines like Cabernet, Syrah and Zinfandel: allow 3-4 months to fully get through bottle shock; however, the wines will continue to evolve over time under proper cellaring conditions.

Medium-bodied reds like Pinot Noir: allow 2-3 months to fully get through bottle shock; like the bold reds, extra cellaring time will only improve the wine's presentation. 

Medium and full-bodied whites like oaked Chardonnay or Viognier: allow 2-3 months to fully get through bottle shock; most white wines gain complexity and bouquet with additional cellaring time.

Light-bodied whites and Rosé wines: allow 6-8 weeks to fully get through bottle shock. These wines are best enjoyed fresh and young, but some rare examples will gain complexity with a bit more cellar aging. 

Note: All of the following are general recommendations – every single wine is built differently, and every individual’s personal palate and taste preferences are different. For aging, general cellar ideal conditions are 55 degrees, 75% humidity with minimal temperature fluctuation and no direct sunlight. Wines stored outside these conditions tend to mature sooner.

RED WINES

Cabernet Sauvignon

Known for its robust structure, high tannins, and acidity, Cabernet Sauvignon tends to age exceptionally well. Most Cabernets released under our Lot Series should drink well and age gracefully for 10 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from bold dark fruits into leather, tobacco, and earthy notes with softened tannins.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a delicate grape with lower tannins and higher acidity. Most Pinot Noirs released under our Lot Series should drink well and age gracefully for 8-10 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from fresh red fruits to an earthy, mushroom-like complexity.

Merlot

Typically softer and fruit-forward, aging softens Merlot’s tannins and enhances its velvety texture. Most Merlots released under our Lot Series should drink well and age gracefully for 7-10 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from plum, cherry, and soft spice to dried fruit, tobacco, and hints of leather.

Syrah

Full-bodied with rich tannins and bold flavors, cool climate Syrahs can often develop elegant, savory notes over time, while warmer-climate versions emphasize ripe fruit. Most Syrahs released under our Lot series should drink well and age gracefully for 8-10 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from blackberry, blueberry, and smoked meats to olive tapenade, leather, earthy spices, and other savory notes.

Zinfandel

Zinfandel is generally crafted for early enjoyment and approachability, though higher-end examples can easily go the distance. Most Zinfandels released under our Lot series should drink well and age gracefully for 5-8 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from jammy raspberry, blackberry, black pepper, and spice to dried fig, prune, and subtle earthy notes.

WHITE WINES

Chardonnay

Oaked Chardonnays can easily age for 5–10 years past vintage, developing complex nutty and honeyed flavors. Unoaked Chardonnays are typically best consumed within 2–5 years past vintage for their fresh, crisp profile. Most Chardonnays released under our Lot series should drink well and age gracefully for 5-7 years or more, with flavors that tend to evolve from fresh, crisp fruits to a more nutty and honeyed character.

Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is typically meant to be enjoyed young for its bright acidity and fresh herbal notes. Most Sauvignon Blancs released under our Lot series should drink well in a peak window of 1-3 years past the vintage year but still age gracefully for a few additional years, with flavors that tend to evolve from vibrant citrus, green apple, grass, and tropical fruits to more subtle notes of honey, hay, and minerality.

Pinot Grigio

Light and refreshing, Pinot Grigio is best consumed within 1–3 years past the vintage year to capture its crisp acidity and delicate flavors. Aging is uncommon and usually doesn’t improve its characteristics.

Rosé

Rosé is generally meant to be enjoyed young. We generally recommend a peak drinking window of 1–3 years past vintage year for its fresh fruit and crispness.

Riesling

With its naturally high acidity and potential for sweetness, Riesling can age up to 50 years or more, depending on the style and quality. Most Rieslings released under our Lot series should drink well in a peak window of 1-3 years past the vintage year but still age gracefully for a few additional years, with flavors that tend to evolve from bright lime, green apple, and stone fruit to honey, marmalade, and dried fruit. Dry Rieslings often peak within 5 years, while sweeter versions can develop additional complexity over decades.

Final thought: After the initial recommended bottle shock holding period on all our Futures releases, we recommend opening a bottle of all our wines once every few months so you can experience each wine’s journey and evolution.

Foil capsules were originally conceived to protect wines in damp cellars full of critters like boll weevils that feed on cork. However, given today’s modern storage conditions, those are likely no longer a threat. The closures we use to seal our wines are also not an attractive food source for critters. The truth is, capsules today are merely decorative and nothing more than an added expense. In the interests of keeping your costs low (and the fact that 99% of capsules are non-recyclable) we've decided to leave them off.

We do not advise using Coravin with any de Negoce wines, as the enclosures we use do not work with the Coravin system.
