Block 41 is one of downtown Seattle’s newest and most unique private event venues. Located in the heart of Belltown, the impeccably renovated former ice warehouse offers three discrete indoor spaces on two levels, plus a landscaped outdoor courtyard. Block 41 combines the best of old and new – massive old growth timber, exposed brick walls, and vintage car decking merge gracefully with blackened steel, leather column wraps, and state-of-the-art building systems. Award-winning architecture firm Graham Baba, along with other local artists and craftsmen, collaborated to repurpose this vintage industrial building into a unique and elegant multi-purpose event venue.

The Payment Processing Company Merchants Trust
We created Gravity Payments because thousands of hard-working business owners were being overcharged and underserved by credit card processors. Today, we serve over 13,000 merchants across America, saving them millions in fees and hours of frustration. Though we’ve grown substantially over the years, we treat each of our clients as if they’re our first client. We are devoted to complete transparency. We don’t confuse our community business owners with credit card gibberish or hide anything in the fine print. Instead, we strive to make credit card processing as simple as possible.
We owe our values-based philosophy to our founder, Dan Price. In 2004, it was his commitment to level the payment processing playing field that launched Gravity.

Direct To Consumer Wine Shipping
DtC Shipping is Critical to Your Business – So is DtC Compliance

SOVOS SHIPCOMPLIANT

Direct-to-consumer (DtC) wine shipping is a critical part of many wineries’ success. In 2022, DtC shipments in the U.S. were valued at $4.1 billion and made up 12% of total off-premise sales of domestically made wines. The channel only grows in importance as consumers continue to migrate to online shopping and direct shipment.
While DtC wine shipping is a great way to bring your products to a wider audience, there are a variety of compliance considerations to keep in mind so that your business doesn't run afoul of regulators, especially as the last several years have seen increased scrutiny by regulators including audits and enforcement actions. There are serious consequences to non-compliance with laws surrounding licensure, age verification, labeling, carrier handling and more. Initial violations bring cease and desist letters, but fines and monetary penalties are also common. If noncompliance becomes habitual, DtC licenses can be revoked, which can have a domino effect and lead to the loss of production licenses.
Our partner Sovos ShipCompliant can help make sure your DtC shipping is always in compliance and you experience smooth sailing as your wine club and other shipments head out the door. Their cloud-based software offers real-time compliance checks and tax determination so your DtC shipping operations stay healthy (not subject to penalties, fines, or worse) for the long haul. On top of that, their Delivery Experience solution helps you deliver top-notch customer service around shipping in this age of Amazon and a new level of comfort/desire to have wine delivered to a customer’s home.
Washington Wine Institute members that are new or renewing Sovos ShipCompliant customers receive a 10% discount off a one-year contract of any Sovos ShipCompliant product.
Want to learn more? Reach out to your existing Sovos ShipCompliant account executive, or you can send a note via their website, or directly to shipcompliantsales@sovos.com.
