Wine Information:

The Tomb: 

Fraternity members at Yale did not live in houses, but they met in “tombs”, which were large windowless lodges that had an air of mystery and secrecy surrounding them.
 
On March 27, 1907, members of a re-founding class of the Alpha Chapter traveled to Marietta College to be initiated. Many of the old Alpha members returned to Yale upon hearing the news of the refounding and helped acquire the fraternity’s first piece of real estate, the “Tomb”, a windowless two-story building. No non-member was allowed entrance. No member could speak of the interior of the building and was even expected to remain silent while passing by the exterior of the building.

We introduce you to The Tomb. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.

The Tomahawk:

The rivalry between Kappa Sigma Theta and Alpha Sigma Phi, the two sophomore societies, spilled over into print. Kappa Sigma Theta attacked our new society in The Yale Banger. In response, Alpha Sigma Phi began publishing The Yale Tomahawk in November 1847. The Yale Tomahawk was printed on a page twelve by eighteen inches and folded to form a four-page, 9-by-12 folio, costing six cents per copy.

The content of The Yale Tomahawk attacked Kappa Sigma Theta and The Yale Banger, but also included editorials, articles about Yale life, Fraternity announcements, poems and other essays.

The Tomahawk is the oldest college fraternity publication in the world. After it appeared in 1847, it continued until the University suspended it in 1852. Since its revival in April 1909, it has been continuously published.

We introduce you to The Tomahawk. 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.
