-
"We are not big wine drinkers, so it is delightful to have someone pick out the wines and receive some background on the selected wines. Always a very pleasant surprise each month!"Karen F. College Station, TX
-
"I've been a Grape Intentions member since they launched and I love the convenience factor, I never have to worry about running to the wine store for a last minute party invite at a friend's. I always have a quality wine supply!"Stephanie C. Philadelphia, PA
-
"We just opened our 10th shipment of wonderful wine! It is safe to say Grape Intentions has enhanced our lives. After we open each box we really enjoy reading the fun stories about the wine grapes, the region and the winemaker, and we appreciate the tasting notes and the pairing suggestions too. And yes, we have been known to do a happy dance when we uncork one of your fine wines!"Kevin & Debbie M. Placerville, CA
-
"We get varietals we never would have picked out on our own, from vineyards we never would have known to try, along with bonus information about the wines and what to drink them with. We’ve never had a bad bottle, and we could not love Grape Intentions more!"Lauren S. Ardsley, NY
-
"I love Grape Intentions because it exposes me to wines that I would not have tried otherwise, and I know that they will be high quality thanks to Brett's knowledge and experience in the wine industry. I also love that part of my subscription goes to doing good."Meli M. Washington, DC
-
"We love trying new types of wine, but we're by no means experts. Having Grape Intentions make the selections for us takes away the risk of us making a bad choice and allows us to be more adventurous with no effort. We've been very happy with the wines we've received."John H. Cary, NC
-
"Opening my box of wines each delivery has become one of my favorite rituals (well, ranked slightly after actually drinking them)! The quality of the wines has been uniformly superb, and the wine descriptions have been as interesting and educational as the wines themselves."Dusty F. New York, NY
-
"Hands down the best wine club out there. Always something new, amazing quality, and I love that it has expanded my palate to now enjoy rosé."Rob T. Washington, DC
-
"Nevermind the sake of ease and convenience, I love that each time I receive my Grape Intentions shipment, I open the box excited to see what wines have arrived — knowing very well that there will be an outstanding selection, all based on my preferences, yet vintages that are new and refreshing to try."Arend F. Arlington, VA
-
"I have never ordered wine online, so when I made my first order with Grape Intentions, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The wines that I receive are outstanding, never had any problems. Makes my life easy! Great company, great wines."George & Linda E. Cheyenne, WY

The unusual presence of limestone soils in this part of Robertson Valley helps bring out the bright fruit qualities in this white.

Tamellini Soave Le Bine de CostiolaTamellini Soave Le Bine de Costiola
It's not unusual to have a bit of trebbiano as part of the blend in a Soave. Here the fourth generation winemakers showcase what sets them apart in this region as the best of the best. Bright acid with a hint of melon notes, this wine pairs well with escargot, grilled fish, and quiche.

Bibi Graetz BollamattaBibi Graetz Bollamatta
"Cult winemaker Bibi Graetz crafts his wines on a hillside overlooking the great city of Florence, beginning initially with only a small, 5-acre vineyard on this hillside in Fiesole. Bright red fruits, succulent stone fruits, and a kiss of citrus dance with wildflowers." Start cocktail hour with this bubbly.
Grape • Sangiovese
Place • Tuscany, Italy
FYI • Bibi released his first wines in 2000. -
Zaha Toko VineyardZaha Toko Vineyard
The varied soils in this high elevation (4,000ft) vineyard are behind this Wine Spectator 100 red. Considered one of the absolute best wines from Argentina, it's not even a Malbec!. Notes of chocolate, herb, black olive shine through. Try with the shredded beef dish Pabellon Criollo.
