"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 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 -
"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 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 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 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 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
-
"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

AngeliniAngeliniThis region just outside Venice produces bright, refreshing wines. Reflecting the personality of the Adriatic Sea that is just to the east, this full-flavored white has notes of tropical fruits. Pairs well with seafood.
Grape • Pinot Grigio
Place • Veneto, Italy
FYI • The winemaker's nine year-old son designed the label. -
Henry Fessy Gamay NoirHenry Fessy Gamay NoirThis is Beaujolais done right! Cheerful with lots of great cherry notes, this is a versatile wine that is easy to pair with a wide range of foods (think Thanksgiving.)! The owl that graces the label keeps the vineyard critter free!
Grape • Gamay
Place • Beaujolais, France
FYI • 98% of all Fessy vineyards are planted with Gamay. -
Maipe TorrontesMaipe Torrontes"This white offers a spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. Well-balanced, it displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish. Pairs well with seafood or spicy cuisine."
Grape • Torrontes
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Maipe means "Lord of the Wind" in Quechua.

Loimer RoseLoimer RoseAmong the countries very best winemakers, Fred Loimer took over his family estate in 1997. Since then he has pursued his version of "modern elegance" and wowed wine drinkers globally. Enjoy the bright notes of this wine, that reveal a touch of rose petal, with your fanciest version of a BLT.
Grape • Zweigelt, Pinot Noir
Place • Niederoesterreich, Austria
FYI • Niederoesterreich means Lower Austria. -
Chauvet Freres Beaujolais BlancChauvet Freres Beaujolais Blanc"Few people know that the region of Beaujolais produces white wines. This wine has a beautiful golden color and a bouquet of aromas with white peach, apricot and hints of white flowers. It is crisp with a very pleasant, bright minerality." Pair with a cold soup such as gazpacho.
Grape • Chardonnay
Place • Burgundy, France
FYI • Grapes come from two small parcels in the south. -
Cousino-Macul Antiguas ReservasCousino-Macul Antiguas ReservasFounded in 1856 and still family owned. The encroachment of the capital Santiago forced the family to find vineyards further south in the Maipo Valley. All of their wines com from two estates there. While distinctly Chilean there is a heavy influence from Bordeaux oenology. Delicious with eggplant lasagna or ratatouille.
Grape • Merlot
Place • Maipo Valley, Chile
FYI • The vineyard for this wine was planted in 1997.

Zaha Toko VineyardZaha Toko VineyardThe varied soils in this high elevation (4,000ft) vineyard are behind this Wine Spectator 100 red. Considered one of the absolute best wines from Argentina, it's not even a Malbec!. Notes of chocolate, herb, black olive shine through. Try with the shredded beef dish Pabellon Criollo.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Zaha means "heart" and refers to the heart of the region. -
Jeff Runquist PVJeff Runquist PVJeff Runquist loves to champion unique varietals that are usually found in blends but have their own inherent complexity. Grown on an exceptional parcel of land in northern California, this wine exudes jammy notes of blackberry with a bit of dill and black pepper. Pair with a Sunday pot roast.
Grape • Petit Verdot
Place • Amador County, California
FYI • Amador County is just east of Sacramento. -
Marimar Estate 'La Masia'Marimar Estate 'La Masia'Classic Russian River fruit is on display with notes of black cherry, plums and kitchen spice. The vineyard is named after the patriarch of the Torres family who planted grapes here in the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River. Delicious on its own but also pairs well with mushrooms.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Sonoma, California
FYI • La Masia means farmhouse in Catalonia (Spain).
