"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 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 -
"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 -
"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 -
"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
-
"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 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
-
"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 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

Mont Gravet RoseMont Gravet RoseWhile the grape Cinsault that is used for this can make powerful reds, it can also be coaxed into making a delightful rosé such as this one with notes of raspberry and blackberry. Pairs well with salads and BBQ.

Mas Le Chevaliere LarocheMas Le Chevaliere LarocheThe Mediterranean climate heavily influences the wines of this region. Organically farmed for decades this wine is known as "the knight's lady."

Ruffino ChiantiRuffino ChiantiIlario and Leopoldo Ruffino began their heritage in wine in 1877 along a beautiful perch overlooking Tuscany. This medium-bodied style has a hint of kitchen spice making it ideal with an array of savory foods...and of course pasta!

Red Tail Ridge Good KarmaRed Tail Ridge Good KarmaRed Tail Ridge sends 10% of the profit of this wine to a food bank in our region, hence the name! We don't often send out wines with a bit of residual sugar, but this is so perfect with anything spice - such as an Indian curry, that we just had to. It's also great as a July 4th wine!
Grape • Riesling
Place • Finnger Lakes, NY
FYI • This charity wine was first produced in 2009. -
Ch. Fontareche RoseCh. Fontareche RoseChâteau Fontarèche, owned by the De Lamy family since 1957, is located in the Languedoc region, several kilometers far from Lézignan-Corbières.

Grape • Pinot Noir
