Wine Information:

Cake Basket: 

As a young college woman, Bettie Locke would share baked goods with her brother and his Phi Gamma Delta brothers. Because of her brother’s membership and her support for the chapter, the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta extended a badge to Bettie. She said that only if she could be a fully initiated member would she wear it. The Phi Gams declined. As a result, Bettie went on to found Kappa Alpha Theta, the first Greek-letter fraternity for women.

To share their congratulations, the men of Phi Gamma Delta gifted a cake basket. In 2016, the original cake basket was donated by Bettie Locke Hamilton’s family to Kappa Alpha Theta headquarters, where it resides today underneath a portrait of Bettie herself.

We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Cake Basket. 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.

Aspiring Theta: 

The aspirational messages of Kappa Alpha Theta are near and dear to the hearts of members along with the kite as a guiding symbol. For years, Thetas have aspired to grow into better versions of themselves whether it’s through personal or professional endeavors. Aspiring Theta captures the essence of what it means to be a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

We introduce you to Aspiring Theta. This 2020 Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate of 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 tart acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
