"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 -
"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 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 -
"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
-
"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'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 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

Grace Town PSGrace Town PSThe Lodi Appellation has a classic Mediterranean climate, featuring warm days and cool evenings. Situated 100 miles directly east of the San Francisco Bay. With notes of prunes, cherries, vanilla this goes well with burgers and bbq.
Grape • Petit Sirah
Place • Lodi, California
FYI • Petite Sirah is also known as Durif. -
TerranobleTerranobleFounded in 1993 the wines from this estate are always known for their approachability. Stainless steel production is a principle reason that this is such a super-easy drinking cab. With notes of black pepper and tobacco this pairs well with items off the grill...including sea bass.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Central Valley, Chile
FYI • This fertile valley extends for nearly 400 miles. -
Boekenhoutskloof The WolftrapBoekenhoutskloof The WolftrapThis wine is named for one of the wild animals that used to roam through the valley when the winery was first established in 1776 (the same year other great things happened!). A blend of three varietals this wine has layers of smoke, licorice, and dark fruit. Pairs well with items off the grill.
Grape • Syrah, Mourvedre, Viogner
Place • Cape of Good Hope, South Africa

Dom. l'Ecu Muscadet Sevre et Maine GneissDom. l'Ecu Muscadet Sevre et Maine GneissThis wine is in hot demand. Expressive minerality is courtesy of the soil for which this wine is named after. Look for citrus notes and a hint of salinity on the finish. Outstanding with shellfish.
Grape • Melon De Bourgogne
Place • Loire, France
FYI • Gneiss are rocks with a distinctive band. -
Closerie Des Lys RoseCloserie Des Lys RoseOwned by two childhood friends from Burgundy, they set out to make wine in an environment where land is less expensive. They found it in Limoux. They have crafted a host of wines since 1997. This rose is a powerhouse and hits well outside of it's class. Pair with pan-seared scallops or with goat cheese.
Grape • Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache
Place • Languedoc, France
FYI • This southwestern region borders with Spain. -
BraaiBraaiSouth Africa has a rich history celebrating the barbecue, to the point it is celebrated every September 24th. These grapes are mostly from the coveted Stellenbosch region. With notes of bramble, cassis, chocolate, and smoke, it should come as no surprise this is great with items off the grill.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Place • Western Cape, South Africa
FYI • In South Africa, an outdoor BBQ grill is called a Braai.

Henry Natter Sancerre RougeHenry Natter Sancerre RougeA delightful family operation that started a mere 44 years ago ('74) and sits atop a keen line of Kimmeridgian soil. This, in part, allows wines from the Natter's to retain an intense freshness even decades after their bottling. Lively aromas of red berries and cherries. Red wine with your fish? This this!
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Loire Valley, France
FYI • You probably thought this was going to be Cab Franc! 😉 -
Zeni AmaroneZeni AmaroneThe Zeni family has made wine for over 150 years. This full-bodied red offers notes of raisin, licorice and a hint of dark bitter chocolate. Recommended with red meat, braised meat, game and fermented cheese.
Grape • Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara
Place • Veneto, Italy
FYI • A special drying method is used before pressing. -
Ch. La Croix Chantecaille Saint- EmilionCh. La Croix Chantecaille Saint- EmilionLocated in the locality of Chantecaille near the border of famed Pomerol. This stunning wine has all the power and finesse of a wine many times its price. With notes of cedar, tobacco, red berries and plum, this pairs well with roast beef.
Grape • Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Place • Bordeaux, France
FYI • This is the oldest wine producing appellation in BDX.
