Wine Information:
Blue & Blue:
I love your dark and your light blue sang a Kappa ever true. In Kappa songs and verses, our blues are described as the “hues of the sky and the sea.” Kappa lore tells us Founder Hannah Jeannette “Jennie” Boyd, Monmouth, recommended the two shades of blue. The colors represent the trust and loyalty found in our sisterhood. For colors selected over 150 years ago, like fine wine, they have aged well.
We introduce you to Blue & Blue. This pinot noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish. Perfect for raising a toast to the blue and blue.
On the Heart:
On the heart of each sister lies one key that binds us. The badge that reminds us of fraternity days. There’s nothing quite like spotting a key or fleur-de-lis in passing to transform two strangers into sisters. You know the feeling. Our little golden key connects thousands of women across time and miles, always reminding us of our dear Kappa days.
We introduce you to On the Heart. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
1870 Reserve:
On a little wooden bridge in the northeast corner of the Monmouth College campus, the idea for Kappa Kappa Gamma was born. That now-famous conversation between Mary Louise “Lou” Bennett and Hannah Jennette “Jennie” Boyd was more than just a passing fancy. It was the start of something big.
The 1870 Reserve honors our founding and the six trailblazing women who sought to create something bold. This proprietary red blend – from our award-winning winemaker Todd Heth – exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry, and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long-lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar. We raise a glass of the 1870 Reserve and are so grateful for 152 years of Kappa sisterhood.
Sapphire:
The sapphire was chosen as the Fraternity jewel in 1890 — a symbol of truth, sincerity and constancy. Our little golden key adorned with blue stones is one of the most popular badge choices. The sapphire was a classic choice, for in the lore of precious stones, its royal blue hue embodies the spirits of light and wisdom.
We introduce you to Sapphire. Pop open this bubbly and enjoy life’s special moments with a toast or bring an extra sparkle to everyday moments. This premium sparkling wine – meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly with 100% Chardonnay, this magnificent Napa Valley Blanc de Blancs exhibits beautiful green apple and tropical notes that follow through in the mouth with a smooth fine mousse. This wine finishes with refreshing, lingering light tropical flavors that beg for another sip.
The Stewart House Reserve:
You’ll always belong in Kappa, you’ll always feel the connection of our sisterhood, and now it’s time to toast to The Stewart House. Located at 1015 E. Euclid Ave., this 1865 prairie-style Victorian house in Monmouth, Illinois, was the childhood home of Founder Mary “Minnie” Moore Stewart and became the birthplace of Kappa Kappa Gamma when the original charter was signed in the front parlor. Kappa’s crown jewel is now owned by the Kappa Foundation, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and welcomes the public into Kappa’s and women’s history.
We introduce you to Stewart House Reserve. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
Rah Rah for KKG:
For the girls who bring that RAH RAH spirit and still wear the blue and blue … We made this bottle just for you. You can quote us when we say there’s not much that compares to this rosé on a hot summer day. Fresh. Crisp. Not too sweet. Perfect for life’s rosiest moments. No matter how you RAH RAH, let it be for KKG!
We introduce you to Rah Rah for KKG, our 2021 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon. The watermelon and strawberry notes burst out of the glass. When served cool on a warm day, the juicy acidity of the 2021 Rosé makes for a very refreshing and versatile wine, perfect to share on any occasion. Look for the hidden imagery in the rose petals.
