  • "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 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 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 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 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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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

wine for everyday moments

    The Veneto region is home to Prosecco, a style of bubbly that is under less pressure than Champagne making it super easy to quaf. Notes of orchard fruit and crisp minerality make this wine a perfect aperitif or delicious with Sunday brunch.

    FYI • Made in the traditional Charmat method of the region.

  • El Gordo Garnacha
    El Gordo Garnacha
    El Gordo Garnacha

    Easy drinking red from the plains of arid Aragon. This workhorse grape of Spain showcases a medium bodied palate with lots of bright red fruit upfront. A perfect pairing with sliders.

    Grape • Garnacha
    Place • Aragon, Spain
    FYI • El Gordo references the large man on the label.

  • Tilia Malbec Syrah
    Tilia Malbec Syrah
    Tilia Malbec Syrah

    Malbec and Syrah from Argentina you ask? Indeed! The unlikely pairing has become a true favorite for many. A seductive color with notes of black currant from the Malbec and black pepper from the Syrah make this an ideal pairing with, surprise, Spicy Szechuan Beef!

    Grape • Malbec, Syrah
    Place • Mendoza, Argentina
    FYI • Tilia is the oft found tree in Argentina's wine country.

  • Dom. Condemine Janny "Le Clou"
    Dom. Condemine Janny "Le Clou"
    Dom. Condemine Janny "Le Clou"

    This small winery is owned by the Janny family and produces a chardonnay in the traditional style of Macon with very little use of oak. While they do grow a little pinot noir, this is "chardonnay country." A light golden hue with notes of citrus. Pairs well with chicken.

    Grape • Chardonnay
    Place • Burgundy, France
    FYI • Le Clou means nail in French.

  • Lanzur Malbec
    Lanzur Malbec
    Lanzur Malbec

    This classic style from central Chile will delight with its note of backberry, plum, and licorice. Pairs well with grilled portobello or a pot roast.

    Grape • Malbec
    Place • Lontue Valley, Chile
    FYI • This wine is Mevushal Kosher.

  • La Valentina Spelt
    La Valentina Spelt
    La Valentina Spelt

    Although this area appears centrally located within Italy, from a cultural and historical standpoint it is considered southern. Some time in Slovenian oak helps bring out notes of truffles, plump, and kitchen spice. This wine is paired nicely with the regional sheep dish known as arrosticini.

    Grape • Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
    Place • Abruzzo, Italy
    FYI • This area is considered the "greenest region" in europe.

Goodest®

as good as it gets

    Chartron et Trebuchet Meursault

    Though the two men who joined forces to start this house are gone, their remarkable legacy lives on through Vincent Sauvestre. The impeccable quality of this wine is immediately evident. Notes of toast, orange, and an underlying minerality make this one to keep for the next five years or drink now.

    Grape • Chardonnay
    Place • Burgundy, France
    FYI • The best wine here comes from the Cote d'Or.

  • Bott Saint-Joseph
    Bott Saint-Joseph
    Bott Saint-Joseph

    Deep red with a complex nose with notes of red fruit and smoked lardons. Vibrant and elegant on the palate, this wine is a perfect representation of this northern Rhône terroir. Silky tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. Delicious with roasted poultry and grilled meats. Aging potential of ten to fifteen years.

    Grape • Syrah
    Place • Rhone Valley, France
    FYI • Syrah is the only red grape allowed in norther Rhone.

  • Deusyls de La Peira
    Deusyls de La Peira
    Deusyls de La Peira

    This hard to find beauty is the second white from the estate of La Peira. At nearly 10 years-old, this full bodied blend has taken on the complex flavors one would expect from such a wine. With a deep honeyed color, it's oxidative properties of toasted almonds would pair very well with Veal Marsala.

    Grape • Viogner, Rousanne, Marsanne
    Place • Languedoc, France
    FYI • This area is cited as France's earliest known winery.
