Wine Information:
One Iota:
Intelligent, Outstanding, Talented, Achievers
The concept of "One Iota" is to ensure that we are all moving in the same direction as one cohesive body, with a single focus, a unified direction, and a shared brotherhood. We are more than just seven regions; we are one organization united by a singular goal: to cultivate a culture that consistently uplifts our core principles of scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and brotherhood.
We introduce you to One Iota. 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.
Eternally Golden:
Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. recognized a pivotal Woman in the early days of the organization by deeming her The Eternal Sweetheart. Ms. Audrey S. Brooks, then a staff member at Morgan State College, was a tremendous behind-the-scenes support, assisting through tough times of adversity on and off the college campus. She will forever be our yellow rose and the foundation of our golden affair with hearts across the world.
We introduce you to Eternally Golden. 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 Valley Chardonnay.
IDRYTES Founder Lonnie C. Spruill, Jr.:
Those that create a way for others are looked upon as pathfinders. Those that sacrifice and break from the norm are called innovators. Those that light the way of the long, winding road, we honor. On September 19, 1963, at Morgan State College (now Morgan State University), 12 students founded a predominantly African-American social service fraternity. We pay tribute to these men, the founding fathers of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
We introduce you to IDRYTES Founder Lonnie C. Spruill, Jr. 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.

B&G 1963 Reserve:
Centaurs shall follow the guidance of the Polaris, with Pride, dignity and Honor. This family, the brown and gold family, shall wear thy shield of Brotherhood, for all the world to see.
We introduce you to B&G 1963 Reserve. 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.
IDRYTES Founder Frank Coakley:
Our history books taught us he was the treasurer on the founding line of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity.
Instead, his life and legacy showed us he was a treasure to his wife and family, alma mater (Morgan State University) where he served on the board of regents for many years and attended many football and basketball games as often as he could.
Nicknamed “Spanky” by his grade school brother and later fellow founder, Lonnie C. Spruill Jr., Founder Coakley loved and was a stanch supporter of his fraternity leading by example as he attended chapter meetings, regional meetings, national meetings and so much more to include his favorite past time, golfing at the annual scholarship golf tournament, later renamed the Frank B. Coakley, Scholarship Golf Tournament.
Founder Coakley believed in financial security and understood the strength and opportunities gained through financial literacy. He particularly wanted to support the financial challenges presented to young people seeking higher education.
We introduce you to IDRYTES Founder Frank Coakley. 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.
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.
