"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 -
"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 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 -
"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'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
-
"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
-
"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

La BuvetteLa BuvetteThis cheerful red from the south of France is as easy and smooth to drink as it's color suggests. With notes of cherry it behaves in many ways like Beaujolais a bit to it's north. Try it with a chill to have on your summer porch or used it for your holiday mulled wine. Point is, you can enjoy it 365!
Grape • Grenache, Carignan
Place • Languedoc, France
FYI • La Buvette is also a popular wine bar in Paris. -
Santa Luz Alba Cabernet SauvignonSanta Luz Alba Cabernet SauvignonBursting with flavors of black cherry and cassis this quaffable red from Chile is exactly the type of easy drinking wine the country is known for. The tannins match up perfectly with tomato-based dishes or a hard cheese like parmesan.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Central Valley, Chile
FYI • The Central Valley is 250 miles long. -
Castelmaure Vin Gris RoseCastelmaure Vin Gris RoseA pale pink color names this lively and refreshing vin-gris, with raspberry and cherry aromas with floral nuances. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and lingering finish. Smooth, refreshing in an easy-drinking style.

Dom. D'Ansignan "Les Grenadines"Dom. D'Ansignan "Les Grenadines"At the very end of Occitane you'll find this village lost in the shadows of the Pyrenees. Grown at 1,400 feet in pure granite, the grapes are picked early to maintain freshness. Notes of bing cherry and minerality leap forth. This easy drinking red can be served with a chill. Pair with chicken salad.
Grape • Grenache, Syrah, Carignan
Place • Languedoc-Rousillon, France
FYI • This is an organic winery -
PozzanPozzanA perenial favorite, this cabernet whistles across the palate with full flavors of black currant, blackberries, dark chocolate, and coffee beans. There's a hint of vanilla on the finish. A hit with Sunday dinner's pot roast!
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Sonoma, California
FYI • Alexander Valley is the largest region in Sonoma County. -
Colleleva VerdicchioColleleva Verdicchio"The vineyards of Colleleva lie on the heights of the Marche. Colleleva’s Verdicchio is a thirst quencher on an elemental level. Zesty and citrusy, with a peppy spritz on the palate, it could be considered the Adriatic’s response to Muscadet. Great aperitif wine or pair with pasta salad."
Grape • Verdicchio
Place • Marche, Italy
FYI • In Italian Colle means “hill”, and Leva means “rises”

Ch. Feuillet Traminer AromaticoCh. Feuillet Traminer AromaticoSometimes it takes a big personality to make a big wine. Maurizio Fiorano, who surprisingly showed up to one of the biggest wine shows in the world with only four bottles, is just such a person. Aromatic indeed, the lychee fruit shines through with this white. Pairs well with spicy food, especially Indian and Thai.
Grape • Gewurtztraminer
Place • Aosta Valley, Italy
FYI • Aosta Valley is home to the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. -
Argyle Blanc de BlancsArgyle Blanc de BlancsIn 1987 visionary Rollin Soles recognized the potential of Oregon's climate to grow great grapes. Today Argyle is famous for it's sparkling wines and this is among their very best. Made from 100% Dijon Chardonnay clone, look for Bosc pear and toasted hazelnut on the palate. Truly a world class wine.
Grape • Chardonnay
Place • Willamette Valley, Oregon
FYI • Willamette is on the same parallel as Burgundy. -
Rudi PichlerRudi PichlerRudi's credo is "I'm a wine caretaker not a winemaker" and he is unquestionably one of the great Austrian producers. This aged wine has come into it's own. The reductiveness will blow off in a few minutes to reveal notes of cooked apricots and toasted hazelnuts. Pair with stewed game and prunes.
Grape • Riesling
Place • Wachau, Austria
FYI • The Pichler's have worked vines since the early 1700's.
