"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 -
"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'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

"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
-
"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
-
"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

FYI • Some white wine is allowed to blend into Chianti. -
Essay CSEssay CSThis is a bold and juicy red wine. Garnet, with a ruby-red rim. Aromas of mint, pencil-shavings and dark cherries followed by cassis and red-currant fruit flavours on the palate. Ends with silky tannins and a long finish. Should pair well with red meats, poultry and rosemary infused dishes.
Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
Place • Western Cape, South Africa
FYI • Many ZA wineries are still owned by Dutch families. -
Punzi ChiantiPunzi ChiantiThis fun red is made to be drunk young and fresh. Fruity bouquet with red berry and violet scents. Perfect companion for Pasta with meat balls, Tomato or Carbonara, Pizza, white and light red meat dishes, and hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.

Villamedoro Rosso Del DucaVillamedoro Rosso Del DucaRecognizing they had something truly special the estate stopped selling it's fruit to other producers in the 1990s.

Place • Abruzzo, Italy
FYI • The house motto is: Villa Medoro is the soul of wine. -

Dom. Delaporte SancerreDom. Delaporte SancerreA family run business since the 1600's, today Matthieu Delaporte is running the winery with a focus on precisions, balance, and complexity. Expressive with intensity marked by notes of rhubarb, kiwi, and marigold. Superb alongside goat cheese.
Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
Place • Loire Vallley, France
FYI • Crottin de Chavignol is the famed goat cheese from here. -
Henry Natter Sancerre RougeHenry Natter Sancerre RougeA delightful family operation that started a mere 44 years ago ('74) and sits atop a keen line of Kimmeridgian soil. This, in part, allows wines from the Natter's to retain an intense freshness even decades after their bottling. Lively aromas of red berries and cherries. Red wine with your fish? This this!
Grape • Pinot Noir
Place • Loire Valley, France
FYI • You probably thought this was going to be Cab Franc! 😉 -
Elvio Cogno Anas-CettaElvio Cogno Anas-CettaUsing the knowledge of the "old-timers" to make wine for the "youngsters", this acclaimed varietal was finally recognized for DOC status in 2010. Thought to have a connection to Vermentino this complex white evolves in the glass with a racy acidity, smokiness, and aromas of chamomile tea.
Grape • Nascetta
Place • Piedmont, Italy
FYI • The name of the wine, Anas-Cetta, is made up.
