Wine Information:
Fairwinds Dead Reckoning:
When the wind is in your favor, and life’s waves are carrying you forward, the key to happiness is to recognize and appreciate these moments. We named Fairwinds to mark these special times and created our wines for you to ‘live in the moment’ and celebrate the fair winds and following seas of your journey.
While respecting the precision of modern navigation, mariners of old used the Method of dead reckoning. By taking the time spent on each heading and at each speed they could calculate the route and distance the ship had covered and mark a sea chart. For all the precision of modern winemaking, sometimes there’s no substitute for the tried-and-true art of dead reckoning.
We introduce you to Dead Reckoning. From the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County, this beautiful wine is influenced mostly by the fog of the AVA and is very aromatic, with a velvet mouthfeel, and has a fruit character that is ripe and intense.
It’s Never Over:
From the chalky soil of southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate like the youthful dance of a neophyte and a wooly goat. This stunning wine is light and friendly, apropos of our timeless motto, “Friends from the heart forever,” with subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes it a perfect starter for the Undertakers’ Ball or gameday festivities. - W.G.
We introduce you to It’s Never Over. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.
The Mansion on the Hill:
Worthy of the wine cellars of such notable Deke brethren as Cyprian G. Webster, Louis J. DuPre and Louis Deshields, this proprietary “crimson” blend exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry and long lasting, like the timeless traditions of The Mansion on the Hill. With silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now, but has the ability to age well in the cellar; thus, “It’snever over.” - W.G.
We introduce you to The Mansion on the Hill. This 2019 Red Wine is an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine 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.
Jolly Good Fellows:
Indulge in the vibrant spirit of camaraderie with our exceptional wine. Just like the Jolly Good Fellow of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, our wine brings joy, laughter, and positivity to every occasion. Crafted with care, each sip is a celebration of the sociable and cheerful moments that create lasting memories. Toast to the lively atmosphere, filled with humor and camaraderie, as you savor this exquisite wine.
We introduce you to Jolly Good Fellows. 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% Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Blanc de Noirs exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
The Lion Trophy:
The Lion Trophy wine celebrates Delta Kappa Epsilon’s highest honor and most esteemed award. This prestigious accolade, named after the Tiffany & Co. trophy, represents the pinnacle of achievement in chapter leadership, scholarship, and community impact. Designed and crafted in pure sterling silver by Tiffany & Co. in 1894 for DKE’s 50th anniversary, the priceless trophy was presented to our last living founder, William Boyd Jacobs, and has since become one of the fraternity’s most valued and enduring artifacts. Awarded annually to the most outstanding chapter, The Lion Trophy embodies the excellence, tradition, and pride that define our brotherhood. With each sip of this distinguished wine, you raise a glass to the pursuit of greatness, the legacy of Delta Kappa Epsilon, and the enduring spirit of leadership that continues to inspire generations.
We introduce you to The Lion Trophy. Deep garnet in color, the aromas of this 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon are pure and focused - concentrated red and black fruits, with cocoa powder and underlying notes of oak barrel spice supporting the fruit forward nature of this wine. Powerful yet balanced tannins are abundant on the palate and are accompanied by notes of dark cherry and blackberry. The mouthfeel is structured, giving way to a long and graceful finish.
Fairwinds 2021 Rosé of Cabernet:
Our Rose of Cabernet 2021 hails from the Russian River Valley, offering a delightful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon in rosé form. Vibrant aromas of fresh strawberries and watermelon precede flavors of red berries and citrus zest. A crisp acidity and a hint of floral notes on the finish make this rosé a perfect companion for sunny days.
