Frequently Asked Questions

Each month, we'll curate a delicious selection of Maine oysters from two of our favorite farms, complete with tasting notes about the oysters, their merroir, and the people who grow them.

If you've joined Brine & Vine, we'll also include two thoughtfully selected bottles of wine to pair with that month's oysters.

Your only job? Pick up your share, gather some friends (or don't!), and enjoy.

We'll announce pickup dates each month by email.

Your share will be available for pickup at The Parlor in Bath during our regular business hours. You can stop by anytime during those dates—no reservation needed.

Life happens!

If you know you'll miss pickup, please let us know as early as possible. We'll always do our best to help, but because oysters are a fresh, perishable product, we can't guarantee alternate pickup dates or refunds for missed pickups.

If someone else can pick up your share, we're happy to send it home with them.

The freshest in town.

We source directly from Maine oyster farms. All are all delivered to The Parlor within hours of harvesting. They're stored under proper refrigeration and monitored for freshness until pickup.

The oysters will stay in great condition for about 5-7 days after pickup. We'll include handling tips with your monthly tasting notes.

Your oysters will come in an insulated bag with a cooler pack. If you're heading home within the hour, you're all set.

If you have a longer drive, errands to run, or a it’s a hot summer day, we recommend bringing a small cooler with extra ice or ice packs to keep your oysters and wine happy.
