"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 -
"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 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 -
"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
-
"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

Whale Route ShirazWhale Route ShirazNamed after, literally the route whales take around southern Australia, this fun, easy drinking red is a no-brainer for your next get together. Loads of red fruit pops through making this an easy pairing with burgers and pizza.
Grape • Syrah
Place • South Australia, Australia

Las Perdices Chac Chac MalbecLas Perdices Chac Chac MalbecThe dynamic layers of soil - loam and gravel - help promote the strawberry and plum notes of this wine.

Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Chac Chas is the sound the partridge makes. -
Guntrum Royal BlueGuntrum Royal BlueThe 11th generation of Guntrums is currently running this classic German family winery. Riesling gets a bad wrap in the U.S. but it is a remarkably versatile wine. Look for a hint of sweetness with notes of tropical fruit. This is fantastic served with holiday meals, spicy cuisine, or simply as a party wine.
Grape • Riesling
Place • Rheinhessen, Germany
FYI • U.S. General Patton occupied the winery in 1945.

Grape • Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault
Place • Languedoc, France
FYI • The historic language in this region is call Occitan. -
Zolo RedZolo RedThis crowd pleaser is a blend of the four main estate-grown grapes grown at Zolo. With dark rich notes of blackberry, cocoa powder and a hint of smokiness. This pairs well with your favorite hamburger.

Viños 1750Viños 1750There are a number of grapes that have done exceptionally well in South America that don't receive the "celebrity status" other varietals do. Tannat, offered here by Bolivian native Francisco Roig, is powerful yet restrained. A substantive wine that pairs well with big flavors such as lamb and rosemary.
Grape • Tannat
Place • Samaipata, Bolivia
FYI • 1750 represents the altitude the grapes are grown at.
