Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s

so to preserve the quality of your wines
at the highest level, it would be best to keep cases inside the
air-conditioned hotel
during the day, and load them into my minivan the next
morning.
Please give me a
heads-up
if you plan to do so, and have your cases ready-
to
-go

If you are not quite ready yet, and want to ship your w
