“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.
