Explanatory Note [Abstract]	'
Explanatory Note	'
	1.Explanatory Note:
	Crimson Wine Group, Ltd. (“Crimson”) is a Delaware company that has been operating since 1991.  As used herein, the term “Company” refers to Crimson and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as the context may otherwise require.  Prior to February 25, 2013, Crimson was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation (“Leucadia”).  On February 1, 2013, Leucadia declared a pro rata dividend to Leucadia’s common shareholders of all of the outstanding shares of Crimson’s common stock in a manner that was structured to qualify as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Distribution”).  Leucadia’s common shareholders received one share of Crimson common stock for every ten common shares of Leucadia (24,458,368 Crimson common shares in the aggregate), with cash in lieu of fractional shares, on February 25, 2013.    The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give retroactive effect to the Distribution for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	Crimson qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”).  An emerging growth company is defined as a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion in its most recently completed fiscal year.  An emerging growth company will retain such status until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year of the emerging growth company following the fifth anniversary of the date it first sold common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the emerging growth company first had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more (indexed pursuant to the JOBS Act); (3) the date on which the emerging growth company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (i.e., an SEC registered company with a public float of at least $700 million that satisfies other tests); or (4) the date on which the emerging growth company has, within the previous three years, issued more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt.  Crimson has elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.  This election is irrevocable.

Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2.Significant Accounting Policies:
	The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes necessary to fairly state results of interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Significant Accounting Policies) included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 10-K (the “2013 Report”).  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.  The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was extracted from the audited annual financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements.
	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted amended Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance for indefinite lived intangible asset impairment testing. The amended guidance allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, then the entity would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset and compare the fair value with the carrying amount of the indefinite lived intangible asset. The Company adopted this amended guidance for its annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
