"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 -
"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 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 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 -
"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 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'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
-
"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 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
-
"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

Rubus Pinot NoirRubus Pinot NoirA delicious red that hails from just north of Venice. The estate fruit of this vintage battled through an intense rainfall in the spring to come out the otherside with perfect fruit. Delicious cherry and raspberry notes sing through on this perfect sipper. Great as a cocktail red.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Veneto, Italy
FYI • Rubus is a genus of flowering plant. -
FatumFatumAfter working for 10 years with his father at the eponymous estate in La Mancha, Manuel Manzaneque Suarez has started both consulting for other wineries and his own project, ¡Ea! This blend of several varieties air with manchego or sauteed shrimp with garlic and butter.
Grape • Airen, Macabeo, Sauvignon Blanc
Place • La Mancha, Spain
FYI • Fatum means "destiny" or "fate." -
Nicolas PNNicolas PNMaison Nicolas strives for an honest expression of each of the single varietals they work with, rarely blending. This is a classic pinot noir from southern France with rounded cherry notes that pairs perfectly with brie and a baguette.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Languedoc, France
FYI • Pinot Noir is one of the most delicate red grapes.

Di Majo Norante RamitelloDi Majo Norante RamitelloThe two dominant red varietals of this region come together to form this exceptionally food friendly wine. Enough tanic structure exists on their own that fermentation and aging occurs in stainless steel. The result is a wine full in body with notes of licorice and dark chocolate. Pair with smoked meats and veg.
Grape • Montepulciano, Aglianico
Place • Molise, Italy
FYI • This region is home to two pre-Roman civilizations. -
Piquette Stix and BugsPiquette Stix and BugsThe unique color comes from pomace soaked in water for two weeks and is pressed again. It then ferments in the bottle a second time providing a touch of fizz. With light, yeast aromas, this is a perfect picnic wine.
Grape • Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir
Place • Stajerska, Slovenia
FYI • Cathusian monks planted grapes here over 700 years ago. -
Dom. Papolle Quatre CDom. Papolle Quatre CNestled in the bucolic southwest region of France comes this producer of delightful white wines that was established in the 17th century. With a bouquet of candied orange and grapefruit peel it pairs nicely with goat cheese as well as shellfish.
Grape • Colombard, Gros Manseng, Ugni Blanc
Place • Gascony, Francce
FYI • This region also produces spirits from these grapes.

Fritz Haag Trocken BraunbergFritz Haag Trocken BraunbergThe amount of history surrounding the vineyards that produce the grapes for this wine go back nearly 500 years. Today the Haag family continue to excel at making the very best their microclimate has to offer. This wine is all about dry - mineral - slate. A marriage of pork and fresh herbs will do best with this.
Grape • Riesling
Place • Mosel, Germany
FYI • Braunberg means "brown mountain". -
Dom. De La Begude RougeDom. De La Begude RougeThis region in southern France really packs a punch, from beautiful beaches to tremendous wines. La Begude is cellared in the 7th century chapel "Conil" seigneury. A strong red that needs a few hours to open before drinking. Loads of black fruit, wood, and kitchen spice it is best served with southern French cuisine.
Grape • Mourvedre, Grenache
Place • Provence, France
FYI • Wines from Bandol must contain at least 50% Mourvedre. -
Monte Carbonare SuaviaMonte Carbonare SuaviaThree sisters run this family operation which is named after the hill that the vineyard sits upon. If there were "cru" status in this part of Italy, Suavia would reference the excellent area these grapes come from. This steely, slate and mineral driven wine is a complex drinking wine or can pair well with sushi.
Grape • Garganega
Place • Veneto, Italy
FYI • Carbonare means coal and refers to the black soil.
