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
  • "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
  • "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
  • "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 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 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 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 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

    This deliciously fun red is made with a grape associated with France and California more than it is Spain however it does surprisingly well in Spain's "cooler" climate in the north. Full-bodied and expansive this has layers of fig, cherry preserves, and leather. Pair with cottage pie.

    Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
    Place • Navarra, Spain
    FYI • Navarra borders France in Spain's NE corner.

  • Terra Libre Fume Blanc

    A nod to Robert Mondavi's famous Loire Valley-style wine that he created in Napa. This white has notes of elderflower, lychee and a fresh crisp finish with lingering flavors of yellow fruit and tones of Muscat. Pair with fish dishes or Thai food.

    Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
    Place • Mendoza, Argentina
    FYI • Fume refers to a smoke-like vapour.

  • Tilia Malbec Syrah

    Malbec and Syrah from Argentina you ask? Indeed! The unlikely pairing has become a true favorite for many. A seductive color with notes of black currant from the Malbec and black pepper from the Syrah make this an ideal pairing with, surprise, Spicy Szechuan Beef!

    Grape • Malbec, Syrah
    Place • Mendoza, Argentina
    FYI • Tilia is the oft found tree in Argentina's wine country.

    The maritime climate that influences the three growing areas of pinot that produce this wine come down to this: richness, floral, voluptuous. Smooth and silky with every sip, looks for notes of cherry cola and kitchen spice. Pairs well with roast chicken.

    Grape • Pinot Noir
    Place • Central Coast, California
    FYI • Calista means "most beautiful" in Greek.

    The family owned Chakana winery sits at over 3000 feet in the foothills of the Andes. It represents the new generation of winemaking in Argentina. A perfect example is this certified biodynamic red with no sulphur added. Lively with notes of cassis and blackberry. Pairs well with empenadas!

    Grape • Bonarda
    Place • Mendoza, Argentina
    FYI • Chakana is the name for the Southern Cross constellation.

    These hand-harvested grapes (and that is TOUGH work) come from some of the original plantings in Casablanca. Despite its proximity to the equator the cool misty nights help promote the vibrancy in these wines. Elegant, crisp and refreshing, try it with grilled shrimp.

    Grape • Sauvignon Blanc
    Place • Casablanca Valley, Chile
    FYI • This valley is the fastest growing wine region in Chile.

    The dynamic personality of Adi Badenhorst shines through each and every on of his wines. This blend of ten varietals is an achievement in complexity. With notes of citrus, peach, honeysuckle, dried herbs and pistachio it will open up over the course of an hour and reveal its many layers. Pair with pork.

    Grape • Chenin Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne
    Place • Swartland, South Africa
    FYI • Swartland is the bread basket of South Africa

    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.

    Grape • Marsanne, Roussanne
    Place • Rhone Valley, France
    FYI • This vineyard is farmed biodynamically.

  • La Cana Nivia

    "Bodegas La Caña was founded in 2008 and uses the traditional methods of elaborating Albariño, before the incorporation of stainless steel tanks, when the wines were fermented and aged in large chestnut wood barrels." This wine has a racy acidity that pairs very well with fish, especially saltwater fish.

    Grape • Albarino
    Place • Rias Baixas, Spain
    FYI • Vineyards use stone columns to support the vines here.
