"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'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 -
"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 -
"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 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 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 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
-
"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
-
"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

Santa Luz Alba Cabernet SauvignonSanta Luz Alba Cabernet SauvignonBursting with flavors of black cherry and cassis this quaffable red from Chile is exactly the type of easy drinking wine the country is known for. The tannins match up perfectly with tomato-based dishes or a hard cheese like parmesan.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Central Valley, Chile
FYI • The Central Valley is 250 miles long. -
GuenocGuenoc"Cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain its fruity flavors and aromas. Bright and delicious flavors of lemon, yellow grapefruit, quince, hints of zesty honey and pepper are framed by a lively acidity." Pair with fish tacos.
Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
Place • North Coast, California
FYI • The North Coast is an area north of Napa Valley. -
Salinas MoSalinas MoIn the hot, arid conditions of southern Spain, Sierra Salinas has set-out to dry-farm their land organically. Using gravity fed facilities to minimize impact on the fruit, they maintain a light fruity style red that pairs well with your next chili night!
Grape • Monastrell
Place • Alicante, Spain
FYI • Minano and Gomez families bought this winery in 2013.

Tamjanika BudimirTamjanika BudimirAbout 10% of Serbian wines are exported - which isn't much. Fortunately this white from Vino Budimir has and it is great example of what is being produced there today. Tamjan is a Slavic word that means frankincese. Look for an aromatic nose of tropical fruit. Pairs well with shellfish.
Grape • Tamjanika
Place • Aleksandrovac, Serbia
FYI • Serbian wine making dates back to 400BC. -
KohaKohaThe hills of New Zealand are alive with this Sauvignon Blanc!Yes, there are notes of that quintessential grapefruit but also that of passion fruit and a good deal of minerality. This is TRULY a seafood pairing kind of wine.
Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
Place • Marlborough, New Zealand
FYI • Marlborough is at the north point of the south island. -
Achs Lust & LebenAchs Lust & LebenThe majority of wines from Paul Achs are red, not the norm in white-wine centric Austria. His time working in Napa has brought these wines their own style of elegance. With hints of black pepper and a touch of bing cherry and herbs this screams for a well-appointed cheeseboard!
Grape • Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Blaufrankisch
Place • Burgenland, Austria
FYI • These varietals are seldom seen outside Austria.

Keermont MerlotKeermont MerlotNamed after the former farm, keerweder, which means "dead end in a valley." Today the Wraiths bring this full-bodied red to market in the shadow of Guardian Peak. Big black fruit that spends nearly two years aging in French oak. Pairs well with beef and lamb dishes.
Grape • Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec
Place • Stellenbosch, South Africa
FYI • The vineyards are in Paradyskloof aka Paradise Valley. -
Badenhorst Family RedBadenhorst Family RedThe cellar on the farm was last used in the 1930's until Adi and his cousin Hein rebooted the operation in 2007. Old bush-vines dot the granite outcrop to produce grapes that go into one of South Africa's very best reds. Aromatically intoxicating full of black pepper, anise, and black cherry. Pair with grilled t-bone.
Grape • Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Tinta Barocca
Place • Swartland, South Africa
FYI • Swartland means "the black land." -
Ossian QuintalunaOssian QuintalunaQuintaluna expresses the genuine character and freshness of Verdejo. The grapes are sourced from a range of small vineyards across various towns in northern Segovia. With complex notes of peach, mandarin, and tropical fruit this pairs well with fish and chicken dishes.
Grape • Verdejo
Place • Castilla y Leon , Spain
FYI • Most of the vines are pre-Phyloxerra
