Take the QUIZ

  • "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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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

    The Pozzan family, originally from Piedmont, Italy, first planted Zinfandel grapes in Sonoma in 1948. Their impressive line of wines has grown and now includes this immediately approachable cab with notes of chocolate, damsom plum, and vanilla. Yummy with marinated flank steak and fries.

    Mary Taylor has a number of wine projects that focus on promoting the best of a particular region or person - in this case Sophie Siadou. The lightness and elegance of this wine, with a hint of chalkiness, pairs well with Valencay, the famed pyramid shaped goat cheese, or with a roast chicken.

    Ch. Segries, which in provencal means "water spring," is a favorite of critics and wine aficionados alike. As you can imagine there is lots of history here. What to take away from this wine is it's overwhelming deliciousness. Layers of cherry, strawberry, and fresh flowers pair beautifully with spicy cuisine.

    Grape • Grenache, Cinsault, Clairette, Syrah
    Place • Rhone, France
    FYI • Tavel is the only AOC to produce entirely rosé wines.

    "Greg LaFololette is intensely focused on crafting wines that offer benchmark expression of vineyard site and appellation." This memorable offering from the Russian River has notes of dark cherry, forest floor, and myrrh. Pair with roasted squab.
