with the perfect wine:

Take the QUIZ

  • "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
  • "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 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
  • "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
  • "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 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
  • "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

wine for everyday moments

  • Blandine Le Blanc

    Blandine Le Blanc

    The name of the game is organic farming. Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe started in the early nineties by banning all herbicides from the vineyards and managed to get rid of all chemical spraying agents by 2002. Bright flavors with a hint of citrus this pairs well with goat cheese.

    Grape • Colombard, Ugni Blanc
    Place • Cotes de Gascogne, France
    FYI • Ugni Blanc is also used to make cognac.

  • Les Freres Bastards

    This is pure happiness in a bottle. Sourced from multiple vineyards in southern France it is a blend of grapes that were meant to be together. Refreshing with notes of red currant it is incredibly versatile pairing well with salads, seafood, grilled veggies, and pasta dishes.

    Grape • Grenache, Syrah, Merlot
    Place • Languedoc, France
    FYI • The Languedoc is France's biggest wine producer

  • Dom. Barville Esprit Barville Blanc

    The Barville family have owned this vineyard since 1880. Wonderful complexity with notes of peach and apricot, this wine displays excellent freshness and length. Serve as an aperitif or enjoy with barbecued shellfish, seafood and citrus fruit salads, as well as chicken dishes.

    The de Clock family owned winery is originally Dutch but located to Bordeaux in 1679. Becoming a French citizen not long after, they have owned this site since 1864. Bright and happy, this white has a little spritz and pairs well with seafood dishes.

    Clara C Prosecco - Fiori di Prosecco

    The name Fiori di Prosecco (or Prosecco Flowers) is a trademarked brand name that only CANTINÆ CLARA C can use. It means that only the best grapes of Glera - from the heart of the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore area and Treviso province - can be called "Fiori di Prosecco". Beautiful as an aperitif.

    Grape • Glera
    Place • Veneto, Italy

as good as it gets

  • Paride Iaretti Gattinara Riserva
    Paride Iaretti Gattinara Riserva
    Paride Iaretti Gattinara Riserva

    This winery is nestled in the ancient, historic town square of Gattinara. The cooler climate in this northeastern part of Italy is particularly good for growing Nebbiolo. A very approachable wine, look for notes of plum and violet. Considering sipping on its own or pairing with aged cheese.

    Grape • Nebbiolo
    Place • Piedmont, Italy
    FYI • Piedmont is also famous for it's hazelnuts.

  • Nick Goldschmidt Boulder Bank
    Nick Goldschmidt Boulder Bank
    Nick Goldschmidt Boulder Bank

    Kiwi winemaker Nick Goldschmidt crafts Boulder Bank near the town of Blenheim lie the Rapaura and Brancott sub-regions. Crisp and fragrant with Meyer lemon, white peach, green apple, gooseberry and fresh herb aromas. Vibrant lime and lemon-grass entry giving way to juicy Asian pear. Great with Mediterranean cuisine.

    Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
    Place • Marlborough, New Zealand
    FYI • Grown in the subregion of Owaka Valley

  • Dom Les Bruyeres Crozes Hermitage Blanc
    Dom Les Bruyeres Crozes Hermitage Blanc

    In 2003 David Reynaud, grandson to famed producer George Reynaud, completed a modern winemaking facility. From that moment on they never sold their grapes again. They masterfully produce this white with notes of quince, apricot, and white rose. Pair with roast turkey.
