Poor Boy is the original bourbon barrel wine pioneered in 2000 by Dan Philips and Julian Van Winkle. The idea to use the bourbon barrels came up in a conversation in 2001 when the two decided to collaborate. Julian sent Dan some old barrels.

Reclaimed bourbon barrels do not have the look of wine barrels. So, in 2005, when the winemakers first saw them, they were hesitant to use them but eventually discovered that they could have a magical influence on the wine.

The length of time in Van Winkle barrels varies depending on many variables: how many uses they’ve had, the wine, the year, the taste, and the balance. It’s a subjective decision of the winemakers who know the wine they are trying to create. The wine has a subtle bourbon influence – an element of complexity — while maintaining its integrity as a fine wine.

Do I need to show ID?: Yes. Every delivery and pickup needs someone 21 or older with a valid ID.
Where do you ship wine?: Within California and to these states: AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MN, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, NY, OK, OH, OR, PA, SC, TN, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY. Someone 21 or older has to sign for it, so send it somewhere a grown-up will be home.
How long will it take?: Orders usually leave the shop within 1–3 business days. In very hot or freezing weather we may hold a shipment a few days rather than cook your wine.
Can I pick it up instead?: Yes. Choose pickup at checkout and pick Fillmore or Noe Valley. We'll email you when it's ready. Bring an ID.
What do I do when it arrives?: Store corked bottles on their side somewhere cool and dark. If it traveled, give it a day or two before opening; wine gets a little rattled in transit too.
Do you discount mixed cases?: Mix any 12 bottles of still wine and save 10% at checkout. Champagne and sparkling aren't included.
