Wine Information:
John C. Johnson - Founders Red:
Always intensely interested in government, Johnson served two terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. He actively corresponded with many of his Delt brothers and joyfully conducted pilgrimages to Bethany College. One of Johnson’s favorite pastimes was conducting tours of Bethany and pointing out the room where Delta Tau Delta was founded.
“The past salutes the present and joins it in hope for the future. Its founders built better than they knew.” – John C. Johnson
In his honor, we introduce to you, John C. Johnson. This proprietary red blend – from 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. With silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.
Old Main:
At the heart of Bethany College sits Old Main. This grand academic building has fostered creativity and expression for more than 160 years, including serving as the home of the Neotrophian Literary Society, an organization that allowed students to practice and demonstrate their skills in poetry, public speaking and writing essays. The controversial voting practices of the Neotrophian Literary Society brought our eight founders together. Before the Founders House, Old Main is where the Founders’ work was conducted. This National History Landmark is the birthplace of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.
We introduce you to our Old Main Pinot Noir. 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.
Sweethearts Divine:
A Delta Tau Delta sweetheart is so much more than a pretty face, someone who brings treats by the shelter and a name on the composite. A true Delt sweetheart symbolizes all that is beautiful and good with the Fraternity. A Delt sweetheart holds a special place in the heart and soul of every Delt and is personified in the classic Delt song “Sweethearts Divine.”
Elegant and loyal to all with a hint of sweet, we introduce you to our Sweethearts Divine Chardonnay. 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 tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.
Four Stars:
The beginning of every Delt’s journey lies within the corners of the four stars. Inspired by our most sacred place, we bring to you the embodiment of excellence in this pristine vintage. As each Delt’s journey culminates in a celebration, this fine libation is a wonderful complement to life’s successes and celebrations.
Whether you are enjoying with a brother, friend or family the Four Stars Champagne offers shades of nostalgia of a Delts journey. 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.
