Wine Information:
Old Main:
At the heart of Bethany College sits Old Main. This grand academic building has fostered creativity and expression for more than 160 years, including serving as the home of the Neotrophian Literary Society, an organization that allowed students to practice and demonstrate their skills in poetry, public speaking and writing essays. The controversial voting practices of the Neotrophian Literary Society brought our eight founders together. Before the Founders House, Old Main is where the Founders’ work was conducted. This National History Landmark is the birthplace of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
We introduce you to our Old Main Pinot Noir. 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.
Golden Lyre:
The Lyre symbolizes wisdom and moderation. In Greek mythology, Hermes is credited with its invention and gifted it to Apollo, the god of prophecy and music. For Delts the power represented by the lyre goes beyond the rote and the mundane. The lyre is emblematic of inherent ability, intellectual strength and moral superiority. As the music of the lyre enriched the lives of the ancients, so does the power of the lyre enrich the life of every good Delt.
We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Golden Lyre. This is a premium and classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hints 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.
Sweethearts Divine:
A Delta Tau Delta sweetheart is so much more than a pretty face, someone who brings treats by the shelter and a name on the composite. A true Delt sweetheart symbolizes all that is beautiful and good with the Fraternity. A Delt sweetheart holds a special place in the heart and soul of every Delt and is personified in the classic Delt song “Sweethearts Divine.”
Elegant and loyal to all with a hint of sweet, we introduce you to our Sweethearts Divine Chardonnay. 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.
