Thanksgiving Pairing 12-Bottle Bundle

Fidelity, love and respect – these are what the beautiful Forget Me Not flower represents. Selected as one of our Alpha Phi symbols by our early members, these hardy blossoms are striking beauties that survive the cold and the heat, returning year after year to remind us of our never-ending connection to our sisters. Included in our celebrations of initiation, weddings and everything in between, forget me nots prompt Alpha Phis to remember that sisterhood perseveres from season to season, bringing joy and comfort.

We introduce you to Forget-Me-Not. 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.

Courageous Rena: 

Courageous is the first of ten releases in the The Original Ten series. These wines honor our ten Founders and the qualities they brought to Alpha Phi. It takes a courageous person to fearlessly pursue her dreams and courage was in Rena’s nature.

As one of The Original Ten, she served as Alpha Phi’s first chapter president, a college professor, an author, a journalist and the president of the Cook County Woman’s Suffrage Society of Illinois. She raised her voice so that the voices of all women would, one day, be heard and make a difference.

We introduce you to Courageous Rena. 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.

150th: 

Alpha Phi celebrates 150 years of sisterhood in 2022, a milestone moment for our beloved Fraternity and sisters across the globe. This release of 150 draws inspiration from the question we ask ourselves as we think of Alpha Phi’s future: What will the next 150 years look like?

Thanks to our Founders and every member who has followed in their footsteps, our future will be full and bright. It will be built on pursuing goals and achieving dreams. It will be a warm embrace, a familiar laugh, a tradition of friendship shared hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart. It will encourage us to lead with character and to innovate. It will be full of mountains to climb, moments of reflection, humility and pride. It will unite us in the spirit of generosity that we hold dear. It will be a path we travel together, exploring the new, cherishing the present and honoring the past. It will be surprising, extraordinary and full of the small moments that connect us all as sisters in Alpha Phi.

Be inspired by the future. Cheers to the next 150 years.

Our 150th premium sparkling wine is meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follow through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.

Pledge Me A Toast: 

Decorated with a wreath of ivy, a sign of strength under pressure, which makes everlasting the ties that connect Alpha Phis, the Loving Cup is a pledge of our warm welcome to the newest members of our sisterhood. When Alpha Phi was formed as a secret society to gather women in a spirit of solidarity, support and love, our Founders reaffirmed the respect we owe to one another and to all women who lead with character, give generously, support each other as sisters and boldly create new opportunities. When members partake in the Loving Cup ceremony, we bring to life the lyrics of “Pledge Me a Toast.” Pledge me a toast before we part, forget the parting’s pain. One that shall bind us heart to heart until we meet again. A toast that time can never dim, nor absence make less dear. One that shall sweeter, deeper grow…with every changing year….

We introduce you to Pledge Me A Toast. 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.

Heart To Heart:
