Wine Information:

Vive:

Dr. Robert L. Irish (Alpha/Norwich 1889) penned a lively song of celebration, fellowship, and reflection for the emerging, young fraternity. Take time to celebrate triumphs, achievements, special moments, and brotherhood. Let every good Theta now fill up his glass – and drink to the health of her glorious past – Vive Le Theta Chi!

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.

It should be shared among brothers in celebration of all life’s victories! “Again and again, again and again, Vive Le Theta Chi!”

Serenade:

“I’ll build her a palace, a mansion or two, or a castle way up in the sky…”

Just as you gathered with brothers to share friendship, joy, and love in song, we hope you gather together with other friends and loved ones for some festive songs and good cheer as you enjoy our 2020 Cuvee Blanc, Serenade.

This elegant white wine blend is alluring and complex, with a sensuous offering of tropical fruits, white flowers and subtle spice. The nose is like a bouquet of flowers and jumps from the glass with ripe lemon, white peach and orange blossom followed by notes of toast and white pepper. On the tongue, lemon bursts forward with pineapple and other tropical fruit, with undertones of vanilla. The finish is bright and zingy and mellows with vanilla and subtle spices in its length.

Norwich - Old South Barracks:

“The Theta Chi Society was the idea and plan of Frederick Norton Freeman, and with the assistance of Arthur Chase, his plans were perfected and the Society was organized at Norwich University on Thursday, April 10th, 1856 at 9 o’clock P.M.” Since Frederick Norton Freeman penned these words on the fly leaf cover of the original minutes book, nearly 200,000 men have been initiated into the timeless brotherhood of Theta Chi Fraternity.What better place to inaugurate our Norwich Red Wine series than at the site of where it all began:

What better place to inaugurate our Norwich Red Wine series than at the site of where it all began: The Old South Barracks. 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.
