"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 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 -
"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 -
"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 -
"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 -
"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
-
"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
-
"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
-
"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
-
"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

Santa Julia MalbecSanta Julia MalbecThe darling grape of Argentina is unquestionably malbec. Familia Zuccardi has successfully made their Malbec as popular in Argentina as it is in the US. Delicious berries alongside some spice make this an easy sipper. Pairs perfectly with empanadas.
Grape • Malbec
Place • Mendoza Argentina
FYI • Santa Julia wines are named after the owner’s daughter. -
Di Majo NoranteDi Majo NoranteLike discovering less trodden places? Molise is for you. Squeezed between Abruzzo and Puglia, it has a dynamic landscape along the Adriatic Sea. This youthful red with hints of violet and currant is ideal for the cuisine of this historically poor region. Diets are heavy on pasta, veggies and generous amounts of olive oil.
Grape • Sangiovese
Place • Molise, Italy
FYI • The comfort food dish of this area is p’lenta d’iragn. -
Le Jade ViognierLe Jade ViognierLocated near the Etang de Thau, a coastal lagoon that is situated between the port of Sète and Marseillan, this vineyard gets the perfect climate. The rounded style of this wine with notes of stone fruit is a perfect food wine. Try pairing it with lobster or shrimp.
Grape • Viognier
Place • Languedoc-Roussillon, France
FYI • This winery was founded in 1932.

Dom. Des Anges BlancDom. Des Anges BlancFrom a small plot within a stones throw of Mont Ventoux, the Giant of Provence, this is only made in exceptional years.

Grape • Roussanne
Place • Rhone, France
FYI • Grapes have grown here for over 2,000 years. -

Tamellini Soave Le Bine de CostiolaTamellini Soave Le Bine de CostiolaIt's not unusual to have a bit of trebbiano as part of the blend in a Soave.

Bright acid with a hint of melon notes, this wine pairs well with escargot, grilled fish, and quiche.
Grape • Garganega
Place • Veneto, Italy
FYI • Greganega is called Grecanico in Sicily. -
Protos CrianzaProtos CrianzaThere are few Spanish producers as iconic as Protos. Before 1982 when they allowed others to use it, their name was literally that of the region - Ribera del Duero. Today their winery is at the cutting edge of all things wine related. This excellent offering is aromatic with black fruit notes. Pairs well with grilled meat.
Grape • Tempranillo
Place • Ribera del Duero, Spain
FYI • Protos is from the Greek word "first". -
Barone Pizzini Animante FranciacortaBarone Pizzini Animante FranciacortaFranciacorta is Italy's famed sparkling wine region and dates back to the 13th century.

Grape • Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Bianco
Place • Lombardia, Italy
FYI • Franciacorta must age on lees for at least 18 months.
