Take the QUIZ

  • "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
  • "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 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 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 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
  • "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
  • "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 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

    Cheerful, bright, and full of vibrant flavors of lime zest and minerality. Aged in stainless steel before heading home to you. This easy sipper pairs well with pool-side parties as well as arugula and goat cheese salad.

    João Portugal Ramos is Portugal’s most famous winemaker and is largely credited with modernizing his countries winemaking methods. This vibrant white is very approachable with notes of granny smith apple and lemon zest. It pairs well with garden salads and shrimp cocktail.

    "Enjoy this fine medium bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pays D'OC growing region in France. The wine has a deep ruby red color, and red fruit aromas. The mouth is filled with dark fruit like black cherry and plum, and a hint of spice on the finish. The tannins are well balanced." Pair with a black bean burger.

    Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
    Place • Pays d'Oc, France
    FYI • This wine is Mevushal Kosher.

  • Rubus Sparkling Rose

    Rubus Sparkling Rose

    These grapes are often identified with Spain but are oh so deftly harvested in France! Excellent as an aperitif or to start any festive occasion off on the right foot. Will also pair well spicy foods such as Thai or Mexican!

    Grape • Tempranillo, Bobal
    Place • Gascony, France
    FYI • Vines for this winery are over 20 years old.

  • 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.

  • Cantine Colosi

    Cantine Colosi

    This is a family run estate. Pietro Colosi creates a refreshing, direct white with rounded flavors of honeysuckle, gooseberry, and apple blossom with a mesmerizing straw color. As you might imagine coming from an island vineyard, this pairs nicely with seafood.

    Grape • Grillo
    Place • Sicily, Italy
    FYI • Sicily's volcanic Mt. Etna is still active.

as good as it gets

  • Carpineto Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

    Carpineto Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

    There is a reason people love Tuscan reds and this is a gorgeous example why. Elegant with a complex bouquet of herbs, toasted nuts, spice, cherry, and raspberry.  Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for three years and cellared in bottle for 6 months. Delicious with wild game or simply as a "reflective" wine.

    Grape • Sangiovese Grosso
    Place • Tuscany, Italy
    FYI • Brunello refers to the color of grapes at harvest.

  • Dom. la Roubine Gigondas

    Eric - a popular figure having previously served as a Paris fireman - and his wife Sophie Ughetto started this winery in 1990 along the foothills of the Dentelles de Montimirail. This is everything you want from this region - controlled power with layers of anise and garrigue. Pairs well with cassoulet.

    Grape • Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre
    Place • Rhone Valley, France
    FYI • Eric is currently the Mayor of Gigondas.

  • Fedegraziani

    Named after winemaker Frederico Graziani this is the counterpoint to his other wine Profumo di Vulcano. A fragrant nose with hints of black pepper and cardamom this distinctly pleasant wine pairs well with game bird or veal.

    Grape • Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
    Place • Mt. Etna, Sicily
    FYI • Mt. Etna last erupted in 2021.
