with the perfect wine:
-
"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 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
-
"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'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
-
"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 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
-
"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
-
"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

Over 15 families come together to produce the magic at Palacio del Burgo. The vineyards measure 200 hectares – 494 acres – spread throughout the municipality of Alfaro, La Rioja, Spain at the foothills of Yerga Mountain, on the banks of the fertile Ebro Valley. Notes of strawberry, vanilla, and cocoa. Pair with pasta!

Colonia las LiebresColonia las Liebres
Two decades ago the winemakers realized that there was great potential working with this grape (instead of only malbec). It was historically blended but in revealing that is holds it color and bright fruity flavor very well, it was allowed to shine on its own. Black currant and licorice flavors that pair well with pork.
Grape • Bonarda
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • The name of this wine means the Colony of Hares. -
La Bastarda WhiteLa Bastarda White
The well know Masi Renzo family (their Chianti is very popular) is behind this cheeky wine by blending Trebbiano and a Sicilian white obtained from Moscato. A fruit forward style with notes of pineapple and mango. Pairs well with a cheese omelette.
Grape • Trebbiano, Moscato
Place • Tuscany, France
FYI • The often rotate the images on their labels.

Andeluna 1300 TorrontesAndeluna 1300 Torrontes
This darling white grape of Argentina never disappoints. Lovely aromatics of honeysuckle with pale yellow in color with hints of green. Floral and citrus notes on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate with balanced acidity. Great with a pasta and veggie dish.
Grape • Torrontes
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Grapes are located 1300 meters above sea level. -
La Vinyeta Heus BlancoLa Vinyeta Heus Blanco
When La Vinyeta set out to produce this wine on their sustainably managed vineyards, they wanted to create a wine that captured the "young, environment-friendly spririt" here. The result is this sensational white with pronounced citrus notes, making this a great pairing with seafood or goat cheese.
Grape • Garnacha Blanco, Xarel-lo, Macabeo
Place • Emporda, Spain
FYI • Emporda is the most northeastern part of Spain. -
Graham Beck BrutGraham Beck Brut
South Africa has a long history of making bubbly and at the very top of the pyramid is Graham Beck. Served at the inauguration of Nelson Mandela, this wine keeps very good company! With notes of freshly baked bread and citrus, this is a perfect wine to start an evening with.
Grape • Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Place • Western Cape, South Africa
FYI • Sparkling here is known as Methode Cap Classique.

MinerMiner
Dave Miner opened his eponymous winery in the mid 1990's setting up shop in Napa. While waiting for his new plantings to grow he fell into an opportunity to make viognier from Paso. The rest is history with this now famous white. Rich, oily, and complex pair with seared tuna and mango and papaya salad.
Grape • Viognier
Place • Napa, California
FYI • Dave's uncle was the co-founder of Oracle. -

This walled vineyard (Clos) belonged to the Bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône and was once served only for the Bishops' receptions as "only the finest for God" was served. An elegantly balanced wine, look for notes of blackberry, blueberry, and coffee. Pairs well with Poulet de Bresse.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Burgundy, France
FYI • Eveque means "Bishop" in French. -
Post QuercusPost Quercus
Inspired by the Romans who left their clay jars in the region, the wine is fermented in amphorae with a long maceration on the skins. Aged for a further 6 months in amphorae to soften the tannins of the Baga grape. Earth notes with a hint of cherry. Pair with a squash soup or bbq.
Grape • Baga
Place • Bairrada, Portugal
FYI • Post Quercus means "after oak"
