Hand-Selected Wines
We only select wines that add something to our portfolio and that bring another dimension to the wine other than it just tasting good. Whether there’s an interesting story behind the family or winery, a famous person or legend that compliments the family business, Grapevine salespeople can tell you a story about each of the wineries we represent.
We are always adding family-owned wineries or cooperatives of small family growers working together to make their wines better. Please take a look at our featured wines and all that we distribute, and if you are interested in finding a wine or joining our portfolio please contact us below!

Tannins, even at this stage of the games, are dense and give the wine a brooding sort of nature that belies the relative youth of the vines from which it comes. This bottling is going to have a serious sense of pizzazz. The fruit is wonderfully ripe without being out of balance at all. The tannins are large-scale in some instances but, again, they are perfectly within context of the fruit intensity and acidity of the wine. This is large-scale stuff but it is in no way any sort of fruit-bomb. -
Aromas of asparagus and green figs. Off-dry lemony flavors with a crisp and fresh finish follow through on the palate. -
On the nose you will find floral notes, new French oak characteristics of vanilla and toasted almonds shine through. The palate is bursting with bright plums, briar fruit, crushed flower petals, and fresh baked gingerbread. The finish explodes with gobs of berries, and an unabashed complexity that are all somehow packed into one bottle. Put quite simply: this vintage is truly amazing. - Pungent and sweaty but nevertheless inviting, this is a walk on the wild side of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It’s full-on boxwood and passion fruit; a potent, weighty wine with a intensely feral quality.
