Jacob Snedeker Lowe The first known meeting of Delta Tau Delta was held in the room of Jacob Lowe. He was a member of the committee that drafted the Constitution and By-Laws. A widely known educator, he was successively principal of Geneva Normal School; President of Farmer College, Ohio; Professor of Mural Philosophy at Bethany; and Professor in the Geneva Normal School. He was born within a few miles of Bethany, but spent most of his life in Ashtabula, Ohio.

Lowe was chosen Orator of the Twentieth Karnea in 1878, and addressed the Karnea again in 1889. During that year, he wrote, “The history of the Fraternity for the last thirty years has been so full of interest and prosperity that I dare not allow myself to anticipate the future.”

We introduce you to Jacob Snedeker Lowe - Founders Red. Beautiful dark color from a concentrated vintage, this wine leads out with brooding dark fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baking spices with some underlying clay earth and toasty oak. The palate dances with bright fruits that turn darker with time in this full-bodied wine, which is juicy and approachable now, but will also reveal other nuances with age, especially coming from a deep and heralded vintage.
