"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 -
"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 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 -
"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 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 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

Dibon CavaDibon CavaThe Penedes region is Spain’s bubble capital. Producing sparkling wine in the same manner as champagne but often at a fraction of the price it is synonymous with great value. This is a lovely example of cava with notes of minerality and Granny Smith apples. Have with Sunday brunch of course.
Grape • Xarello, Macabeo, Parellada
Place • Penedes, Spain
FYI • Spain is the second largest producer of sparkling wine. -
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. -
San Elias ChardonnaySan Elias ChardonnayViña Siegel is a family owned operation that started in the 1980’s. With plantings throughout the expansive 250-mile long central valley they look to take advantage of its many microclimates. This chardonnay with its straw color and exotic overtones is perfect for any cocktail reception.
Grape • Chardonnay
Place • Colchagua Valley, Chile
FYI • Colchagua Valley is south of Santiago, the capital.

Eureka!Eureka!Bright and a little funky like so many things out of California. This unique blend has notes of melon, underripe grapefruit and pineapple. Pairs well with papaya salad, pad thai, or a vegetable green curry.
Grape • Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard, Muscat
Place • Santa Barbara, California
FYI • The wine is made using spontaneous fermentation. -
TapizTapizOne of the keys to making great wine in Argentina is to search out high-elevation sites to plant grapes. At nearly 4000 feet above sea level, these are among the highest - and best - the country has to offer. Dark fruit with a hint of eucalyptus, this pairs well with pork ribs.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Tapiz translates to tapistry. -
G.D. Vajra Langhe DOC RossoG.D. Vajra Langhe DOC RossoWith great aromatics that are unquestionably floral, namely violets, this wine is described by Francesca Vajra as "a gentle wine, that is joyful and made to be food friendly." Mouthwatering and delicious, pair with your favorite pasta dish.
Grape • Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa
Place • Piedmont, Italy
FYI • Traditionally Freisa was made as a sparkling wine.

Domaine les Hautes Cances Cairanne VVDomaine les Hautes Cances Cairanne VVTremendous depth in this wine is achieved from the old vines planted on what is now , as of 2016, cru status vineyards in Cairanne. The husband wife duo turned from medical practices to winemaking and have given us this delicious full-bodied red full of plum and cassis. Pairs well with lamb.
Grape • Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre
Place • Rhone Valley, France
FYI • Grenache vines for this wine are over 100 years old! -
Benito Ferrara SequenzhaBenito Ferrara SequenzhaA richer more full bodied varietal from one of the absolute best white wine producers in southern Italy. A hint of almond, bees wax and white peach. It's velvety texture pairs well with soft cheeses and seafood salads.
Grape • Fiano
Place • Campania, Italy
FYI • Campania translates to "happy countryside." -
Fulcrum Gap's CrownFulcrum Gap's CrownDavid Rossi founded this winery in 2005 long before words like "restrained" and "early harvesting" were commonplace. While his approach is reserved in general, this tends to be a fuller-style pinot from him. Notes of earth, desert sage, anise and berry compote. Pairs well with a pork chop and sage butter.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Sonoma Coast, California
FYI • Fulcrum is the point at which an object balances.
