Wine Information:
Ypsilanti, Mich:Â
“In 1899, in Ypsilanti, Mich! Eight great girls sat right down and made themselves a wish!” This beloved recruitment cheer has gotten thousands of Sisters “fired up” over the years. For many of us, singing recruitment cheers in sync with our Sisters are some of our fondest memories. This cheer was less about the words—it was about feeling perfectly in unison with one another and electrified by our Sisterhood. The Ypsilanti, Mich Pinot Noir honors the spirit and pride we feel when we cheer from the rooftops about Alpha Sigma Tau.
We introduce you to Ypsilanti, Mich. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.Â
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.Â
Footpath To Peace:Â
“To be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars…”
When an Alpha Sigma Tau hears “Footpath to Peace” the corners of her mouth turn up with a smile. She knows that this special passage is the reminder she needs to appreciate the little things. Celebrate your beautiful life and the people in it with this Chardonnay; pour yourself a glass and reflect on all the reasons you have to be glad of life.
We introduce you to Footpath To Peace. 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.Â
Permanence & Loveliness:Â
“As a member of Alpha Sigma Tau, I believe in the permanence and loveliness of its ideals.”
Our Creed’s first line captures what every Alpha Sigma Tau knows to be true: our shared values are a permanent part of our lives. We honor our Creed with our inaugural Creed Collection bottle, featuring a 1973 National Headquarters Fund logo.
This sense of permanence keeps us connected to each other, for as the fund’s chairman, Lois Schweikart O’Dell (Lambda 1938/Temple), once wrote, “No matter how far or where a Sister roams, she will always know that she can keep in touch with Alpha Sigma Tau.”
We introduce you to Permanence & Loveliness. 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.
Six Stars:Â
On the Alpha Sigma Tau Crest, the six stars shine to remind us to appreciate the beauty in life—to remember every day is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, friendships, and Sisterhood. The Six Stars Champagne was created in honor of celebrating meaningful moments with our Sisters.
We introduce you to Six Stars. 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 from 100% Chardonnay, this magnificent Napa Valley Blanc de Blancs exhibits beautiful green apple and tropical notes in the aroma follows through in the mouth with a smooth fine mousse. This wine finishes with refreshing, lingering light tropical flavors that beg for another sip.
Friendship & Fidelity:Â
“I believe in the values of friendship and fidelity to purpose.” Our Creed’s second line embodies who Alpha Sigma Tau is at our core: Sisters who believe that friendship and loyalty to one another make us stronger. We honor our Creed with the second bottle of our Creed Collection, featuring an anchor inspired by engraving plates used in the production of The Anchor magazine throughout the 20th century.
We introduce you to Friendship & Fidelity. 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.Â
125 Years:Â
For 125 years, Alpha Sigma Tau has stood as more than an organization, more than a club, more than just a group of women. We’re a Sisterhood where bonds run deep, friendships flourish, and our commitment to one another lasts a lifetime. Within Alpha Sigma Tau, generations of women have found a place to call home and discovered that being a Sister means being there for each other... through every era... every milestone... every moment... big, or small. With this special 125 Years RosĂ©, raise a glass to toast the women who have come before you and gotten us to this celebration. Today, your contributions to our exceptional Sisterhood will bring us into the next 125 years.Â
We introduce you to 125 Years, 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.
