Wine Information:
Yellow Rose:
The Souvenir de Claudius Pernet was established in the early 1900’s just like Alpha Kappa Lambda making it the perfect Fraternity flower. The golden yellow of the rose and its dark green glossy foliage play to the colors seen on the Fraternity’s crest. The Yellow Rose is used in many ways for Alpha Kappa Lambda. Chapters call formals by that name. Chapter Sweethearts, spouses and loved ones are presented this rose. You will find the Yellow Rose used in Fraternity ceremonies too.
We introduce you to Yellow Rose. 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.
Bushnell Guild:
The Bushnell Guild was the predecessor of Gamma Chapter at the University of Illinois. Initially called the Congregational Guild it changed to the Bushnell Guild in 1918 and then became Gamma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda in 1921. The principles of Christianity, Scholarship, Citizenship and Fellowship aligned well with the Ideals of Alpha Kappa Lambda. This was the first chapter outside of California. Its iconic house was located on 401 E. Daniel St.
We introduce you to Bushnell Guild. 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.
