Amid the Fraternity’s early symbols, Pi Kappa Alpha cast about for something special that would say “PIKE” to the world. Who would have guessed an answer might lie in ownership and use of a real-life, working, very old fire truck? After all, the colors were usually correct – garnet and gold. The desire for a fire engine swept the Fraternity following the March 1959 issue of the Shield & Diamond featuring the five existing PIKE engines throughout the country. Today dozens of PIKE chapters maintain retired fire trucks, which has led to a relationship with many fire departments as well as charitable support of first responders in our campus communities.

We introduce you to Firemen. This premium Pinot Noir is 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.
