Wine Information:

1852 FOUNDERS BLEND:

This proprietary blend commemorates the birth of our Brotherhood on February 19, 1852. While students at Jefferson College, our Founders were among a brave few who remained on campus as a typhoid fever epidemic ravaged the community. Through late-night vigils tending to the sick and the mourning, the two developed an unbreakable bond. A year later, as blizzard winds battered the campus, these honorable men gathered to create a brotherhood in the spirit of helping those in need. That fateful wintry night, Phi Kappa Psi was born.

We introduce you to our 1852 Founders Blend. 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.

Canonsburg:

A small coal-mining borough in western Pennsylvania, Canonsburg was home to Jefferson College. In 1852, a series of events joined two Jefferson classmates for life. In a two-story brick house, just a short walk from the college, a meeting of friends established a brotherhood built on the shared values of intellect, morality, spirituality, and loyalty. This crisp white honors the birthplace of Phi Kappa Psi and our first chapter, Pennsylvania Alpha.

We introduce you to Canonsburg. 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 tart acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Valley Chardonnay.

The Great Joy:

In the winter of 1851, two men approaching 20 years of age found themselves amid unthinkable circumstances. As typhoid fever struck their college and community, many chose to flee. Young Letterman and Moore chose to stay and give aid and sympathy to those less fortunate. In that choice, a bond was formed through The Great Joy of Serving Others. Raise a glass and share a toast to our founding principle with three high! high! highs!

We introduce you to The Great Joy. 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 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
