Wine Information:

From The Ashes:

Lore says that The Phoenix is a magnificent male bird, much like an eagle that would live for 500 years with never more than one Phoenix living at a time. After 500 years, the Phoenix would build a nest and set it on fire to be consumed in flames. Out of the ashes would come another Phoenix as beautiful and strong as the old to live another 500 years. The Phoenix, born of fire out of the ashes, became the symbol of resurrection and eternal life.

We introduce you to From The Ashes. The 2019 Red Wine is an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine 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.

Royal Purple & Old Gold:

The SAE flag is synonymous with the Fraternity. With its iconic colors and indistinguishable lettering, ours cannot be mistaken for any other. One look at the purple and gold banner is easily identifiable—and even more inviting. If a flag is waving, SAEs are welcomed beneath it. Designed by H.H. Cowan (Adrian 1890), the flag was officially adopted in 1892 during the 36th Anniversary Convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and has remained unchanged since.

We introduce you to Royal Purple & Old Gold. This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.

Wisdom:

Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, represents the importance of intellect within everyday tasks. She is known for her dedication and as the sponsor of all useful arts, continuing to serve as a symbol of power and virtue. Minerva is a strong warrior who fights for just causes standing proudly with her shield and spear. Carrying weapons of wisdom and knowledge, she is the embodiment of peace and prosperity that Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s men strive to represent daily as loyal sons of Minerva.

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

Ruh Rah:

Napa Valley Brut Sparkling – Méthode Champenoise

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the singing fraternity — there is a song for every occasion. The SAE Yell unites every member, especially when we are gathered for times of celebration.
