Just a few quick questions so we can pair you
with the perfect wine:
-
"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 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
-
"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
-
"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
-
"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
-
"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 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'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

Borsao RosadoBorsao Rosado
A rather young winery by Spanish standards, Borsao was founded in 1958 and works primarily with the region’s important varietal, garnacha. This versatile wine is full of notes of watermelon and cherry. It pairs very well most items off the grill or served as a cocktail wine.
Grape • Garnacha
Place • Campos de Borja, Spain
FYI • Spain is the world's largest wine producer. -
Santa Julia MalbecSanta Julia Malbec
The darling grape of Argentina is unquestionably malbec. Familia Zuccardi has successfully made their Malbec as popular in Argentina as it is in the US. Delicious berries alongside some spice make this an easy sipper. Pairs perfectly with empanadas.
Grape • Malbec
Place • Mendoza Argentina
FYI • Santa Julia wines are named after the owner’s daughter. -
Terra Libre Fume BlancTerra Libre Fume Blanc
A nod to Robert Mondavi's famous Loire Valley-style wine that he created in Napa. This white has notes of elderflower, lychee and a fresh crisp finish with lingering flavors of yellow fruit and tones of Muscat. Pair with fish dishes or Thai food.
Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
Place • Mendoza, Argentina
FYI • Fume refers to a smoke-like vapour.

TellusTellus
The crumbly soils of the five hectares in Umbria for this wine are difficult to work but well worth it. A special project to owner Riccardo Cotarella, a glassful of this is like walking through an orchard of apples and citrus. Pairs nicely with a bowl of salmon and quinoa.
Grape • Chardonnay
Place • Umbria, Italy
FYI • Tellus is Latin for Earth. -
Freelander PNFreelander PN
Freelander wines have been made in Napa Valley, CA since the founding. The fruit comes from select vineyards that produce elegant and impressive wines. Aged in French and American oak it shows baked cherry and violet notes rounded out with baking spices. Pairs well with grilled pork tenderloin.
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Napa Valley, California
FYI • Larry Levin is the winemaker. -
The Wild FighterThe Wild Fighter
Made from the Chalk Hills Vineyard in the northeastern part of Alexander Valley these steep, rolling hills are high in elevation making a wine of depth and complexity. This wine has open aromatics of cassis, ripe plumb, toasted vanilla and spices; along with a matrix of soft acidity and fleshy tannin. Pair with roast beef.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Sonoma County, California
FYI • Alexander Valley is warmest area in Sonoma.

Elderton ShirazElderton Shiraz
Today the second generation is running things at Elderton. Having recently celebrated it's 100th anniversary, it is one of the older vineyards in the Barossa Valley. This full bodied powerhouse has dark rich flavors of blackberry and chocolate. Pair with your favorite grilled steak.
Grape • Syrah
Place • Barossa Valley, Australia
FYI • Screw caps are widely used in the southern hemisphere. -
Franz Hirtzberger Rotes TorFranz Hirtzberger Rotes Tor
Hands down considered one (out of two) of the greatest white wine producers in Austria. Meticulous work in the vineyard is exhibited in 4 to 5 passes of each vine to pick grapes only at their individual peak ripeness. Prolonged minerality on the palate and a hint of gooseberry. Excellent with delicate fish dishes.
Grape • Gruner Veltliner
Place • Wachau, Austria
FYI • Rote Tor means Red Gate. -
Barboursville Nebbiolo ReserveBarboursville Nebbiolo Reserve
Founded outside of Charlotesville, VA in 1976 this winery is considered one of the best in the Commonwealth. With Barbaresco serving as inspiration for the wine's style the result is a resounding success. Elegant and aromatic with layers of violet and dark berry. Try with grilled duck breast.
Grape • Nebbiolo
Place • Barboursville, VA
FYI • Govt. officials wanted tobacco planted here not vines.
