Take the QUIZ

  • "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 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
  • "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
  • "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'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
  • "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 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

wine for everyday moments

    Nestled along the Breede River at the tip of South Africa comes this immediately approachable cab with notes of blueberry and plum. Super versatile along a campfire roasting sausages or at weekend barbecue with hamburgers on the grill.

    FYI • Excelsior means "ever upward" in Latin.

  • El Gordo Garnacha

    El Gordo Garnacha

    Easy drinking red from the plains of arid Aragon. This workhorse grape of Spain showcases a medium bodied palate with lots of bright red fruit upfront. A perfect pairing with sliders.

    Grape • Garnacha
    Place • Aragon, Spain
    FYI • El Gordo references the large man on the label.

  • Micro-Cosme Rouge

    Château de Saint Cosme is the leading estate of Gigondas and produces the benchmark wines of the appellation. The property has been in the hands of the Barruol family since 1490. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992. Look for red fruit notes. Easy to drink on its own or with a cheese board.

    Located on the north-facing hillside estate in Hawke's Bay, NZ, this winery achieved organic certification in 2015 and is now biodynamic. Minimal intervention is their focus. Notes of guava, ginger, honey drizzled pears and orange blossom. Pairs beautifully with red snapper.

    Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
    Place • Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
    FYI • Located on New Zealand's north island.

  • Lang & Reed

    No small feat to enter cabernet sauvignon dominate Napa Valley to plant exclusively a new clone of cabernet franc. In 1993 that's exactly what the Skupny couple did. With notes of blueberry and floral hints of violet this will have you licking your lips for more. Pairs well with roasted vegetables.

    Grape • Cabernet Franc
    Place • Napa Valley, CA
    FYI • The winery is named after the couple's two sons.

  • Secateurs

    Adi is a South African national treasure. His wine speaks for itself. Made from old vines it uniquely displays the minerality in the farm's soil to provide a long finish. Complex red fruit, spice, and smokiness. Goes great with grilled food.

    Grape • Syrah, Cinsault
    Place • Swartland, South Africa
    FYI • Secateurs are shears used in vineyards

as good as it gets

  • Gary Farrell Russian River

    Gary Farrell Russian River

    The famous fog that settles in the Russian River Valley overnight and burns off by midday has an enormous impact on the elegant nature of this wine. Blended from pioneer Gary Farrell's top sites, this pinot delivers with layers of mushroom, cherry, and kitchen spice. Pair with coq au vin.

    Grape • Pinot Noir
    Place • Sonoma County, California
    FYI • The Russian River is named after explorer Ivan Kuskov.

  • Melville Santa Rita Hills Syrah
    Melville Santa Rita Hills Syrah
    Melville Santa Rita Hills Syrah

    Cold-climate syrah is simply magical. White pepper, black olive brine, lavender, and cured meat come together in a classic expression. Bright acidity, a hallmark of the Sta. Rita Hills, brings freshness, while the texture ties everything together. Pair with a slow-smoked pork shoulder.

    Grape • Syrah
    Place • Santa Rita Hills, California
    FYI • The winery was founded in 1989.

  • Fedegraziani
    Fedegraziani
    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.
