Last revised in the quiet hours of the cellar office. Version 7.0, printed on the estate's good paper.

1. What We Collect

We collect what the considered operation of a winery requires: your name, your correspondence, your shipping address, and a running record of the bottles you have enjoyed. We find this last category particularly instructive and it informs our subsequent recommendations.

2. Our Discretion

The Carter family has held the confidence of its clientele for seven generations. We do not share your information, except with the small number of vendors and logistics partners who must handle your bottles on their way to your cellar. We ask them to be similarly discreet.

3. The Ledger

A physical ledger is maintained in the cellar office, in the hand of our Cellar Master. Your purchases are recorded there in ink. This ledger has never left the property. It will not leave the property.

4. Cookies & The Cellar Door

Our website uses small browser cookies to remember you and to support the function of the cart. These are not edible and are, regrettably, not comparable to the pastries served in the tasting room. You may disable them in your browser at any time, though some pages may become less hospitable as a result.

5. Your Rights

You may request that we remove your name from the ledger at any time. We will do so with some quiet regret. We do not, however, forget the bottles themselves; a wine remembers its drinker in ways we cannot overwrite.

6. Security

Electronic records are kept on a single computer in the estate office. The office is locked each evening with the same brass key Henri Carter used in 1938. The key is worn smooth. It has never been copied.

7. Revisions

We may revise this policy from time to time, as the considered stewardship of an estate occasionally requires. Material revisions will be noted on your next correspondence. Inconsequential revisions will not trouble you.
