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
  • "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 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 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
  • "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
  • "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 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 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 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

    Produced from 30 year-old tempranillo on land in the parched soil (no irrigation here!) of southern Spain. The warmth of this vintage promoted the intense ripe fruit of this bold wine. Pairs well with charcuterie and grilled pork.

    Grape • Tempranillo
    Place • Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
    FYI • Bodegas Volver was founded in 2004.

    Bursting with flavors of black cherry and cassis this quaffable red from Chile is exactly the type of easy drinking wine the country is known for. The tannins match up perfectly with tomato-based dishes or a hard cheese like parmesan.

    Grape • Cabernet Sauvignon
    Place • Central Valley, Chile
    FYI • The Central Valley is 250 miles long.

  • Faisao Rosado

    Vinho Verde can also come as a rose such as this delight. A blend of varietals from the famous DO of light and slight bubbly: Vinho Verde. Notes of strawberry. Great pool sipper.

    Grape • Espadeiro, Borracal
    Place • Vinho Verde, Portugal
    FYI • Faisao means pheasant.

    This property was founded in 1978 and built on land previously used as a cherry orchard. Today they family farms biodynamically. With a bouquet of black fruit, prune jam, black olive, wild flowers, and licorice, this pairs well with braised lamb shank or a pork ribs.

    Grape • Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre
    Place • Rhone Valley, France
    FYI • Two brothers who once owned this fell out years ago.

    While New Zealand might be known more for sauvignon blanc, this pinot gris with extended contact giving it it's salmon hue is one to remember. Aromatic with notes of peach and cantaloupe this pairs well with grilled shrimp or scallops.

    Grape • Pinot Gris
    Place • Marlborough, New Zealand
    FYI • Brent Marris was one of first qualified producers in NZ.

  • Montenigo Valpolicella

    This is the counterpoint to the massive Amarone that this region is so famous for. With light refreshing notes of Morello cherry and persistent minerality, this is more reminiscent of a Cru Beaujolais. Pair with your favorite chicken dish.

    Grape • Corvina, Rondinella
    Place • Veneto, Italy
    FYI • This is the largest wine producing region in Italy.

  • Chateau Musar Rouge

    The wine to beat. More to write about this magical property than we can do justice in this small space. Inspired by Bordeaux blends but uniquely it's own this red is beloved the world over. Founded in 1930 and "discovered" in 1979, Musar put Lebanon on the map. Persistent fruit flavors pair great with lamb and game.

    Grape • Cinsault, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon
    Place • Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
    FYI • Nearby artillery during the civil war didn't stop harvest

    "Toni Bodenstein married into the family in 1990. Bodenstein’s scholarly approach, passion for biodiversity, and brilliant winemaking has elevated Prager to the highest echelon of Austrian wine producers. With high aroma and focused acidity, this pairs well with fish curry."

    Grape • Riesling
    Place • Wachau, Austria
    FYI • Prager belongs to the prestigious Vinea Wachau.

  • Domaine Collotte Combereau

    The old vines found on this parcel of land owened by Philippe Collotte and his family grow on crinoidal limestone on bedrock. This results in an attractive wine with a silky complexity and prominent notes of plum. We're enjoying this all by itself.

    Grape • Pinot Noir
    Place • Burgundy, France
    FYI • Marsannay is located in the Cote de Nuits.
