Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know about the wine, the shipping, and the jokes. Still stuck? Drop us a line.
What is Chateau Your Mom?
A genuinely decent California red blend sold with three collectible “Your Mom” back-labels — Joan, Elverda and Mabel. It’s a novelty wine and gag gift where the joke is on the label, not in the glass.
What kind of wine is it, and what’s in the blend?
It’s a California red blend. Every bottle in the collection is the exact same wine inside — only the back-label joke changes from Joan to Elverda to Mabel.
Is the wine actually good, or is it just a gag gift?
Both. It’s a legitimately drinkable California red blend, so it works as a gag gift the recipient can genuinely enjoy rather than quietly pour down the sink.
How much does a bottle cost?
Every label is a flat $15 a bottle — no tiers, no surprises — with free shipping to the 47 states we can ship to.
Which U.S. states do you ship to?
We ship to 47 states with free shipping. The only states we can’t ship to are Utah, Kentucky and Mississippi.
Why can’t you ship to Utah, Kentucky or Mississippi?
Those three states’ direct-to-consumer alcohol shipping laws don’t permit it, so by law we can’t ship wine there. Everywhere else: cheers.
What are the three labels?
Joan is named after our own mother (the gentlest roast). Elverda — a.k.a. “Verdy” — is the mother-in-law. Mabel is one of our grandmothers, and earns the most savage tasting notes of the trio. Same wine inside; three different back-label jokes.
Is this a good Mother’s Day or gag gift?
That’s the whole idea. It’s a funny wine gift for moms, mothers-in-law and grandmothers, and collecting all three makes the joke land even harder.
Do I have to be 21 to order?
Yes. You must be of legal drinking age (21+) to purchase, and an adult signature is required on delivery.
