"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 -
"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 -
"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 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 -
"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
-
"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 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
-
"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

Gambellara Soave I BasaltiGambellara Soave I Basalti"Cantina di Gambellara was founded in 1947 by a group of 26 associated vine growers, becoming the first cooperative winery in the Vicenza province. The taste is very fresh. There is an important presence of mineral salts due to the volcanic origin of the soil. Pair with seafood risotto."

Bodegas Weinert CarrascalBodegas Weinert CarrascalThis new-world winery is only 40 but their soul and winemaking is rooted in the traditionally old-world ways of Europe. This quintessential Bordeaux-blend yields plenty of dark cherry flavors. Don't let its "old school" ways fool you - this is very much an Argentine original. Great with grilled pork chops.
Grape • Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Carrascal means "plantation of evergreen oaks." -
R Vineyards MR Vineyards MSourced from several California vineyards this wine illustrates the best of what the Golden State has to offer. With 10 months in French and American oak barrels this layered wine is full with notes of cherry and vanilla. Pair with your favorite veggie burger.

Heinrich ZweigeltHeinrich ZweigeltThe Heinrich's founded their winery in 1990 and converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2006. Extended contact on the lees provides a truly unique expression of Burgenland. Aromas of black cherry, baking spice, and a hint of smoke make this wine a perfect match with baked chicken, bacon, or even with greens.
Grape • Zwigelt
Place • Burgenland, Austria
FYI • This grape was developed in 1922 by Fritz Zweigelt.
