Wine Information:
Fireside:
Since the 1890s firesides have been a tradition among Delta Gamma members. These informal gatherings are a time to connect with our sisters in a meaningful and authentic way. During these quiet periods of reflection, the true bonds of friendship are formed.
The Delta Gamma Fireside Song featured on this bottle was written by two members whose melody and lyrics capture the essence of the connection felt by all who wear the anchor.
We introduce you to Fireside. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.
Fireside 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.
Bronze 1883:
Bronze, pink and blue. Saying these colors is synonymous with Delta Gamma. The newest (and historically most controversial) of Delta Gamma’s official colors, bronze, was added during the 1883 Convention. Members of Sigma and Alpha requested the colors be changed due to other organizations on their campuses using pink and blue and did not want Delta Gamma to be confused with these other groups. While bronze was chosen, it proved to be a controversial decision. Challenges were made to it at every Convention until 1907. Some members expressed that bronze-colored items were too difficult to find. Nevertheless, bronze remained one of the official colors and was used for the Council badges, as pictured on this bottle, prior to 1948.
We introduce you to Bronze 1883. Balancing the fullness of fruit with the dance of elegance, this 2021 Chardonnay Napa Valley exhibits purity of fruit with melon and poached pear, then lemon custard and faint toastiness on the nose while exotic fruit notes of mango and pineapple mesh with the vanilla and spicy wood from French oak in this medium bodied wine that finishes on a sweet note.
Anchor 1881:
The first anchor badges used by Delta Gamma were designed in 1877. The sketch here dates to 1881 when it was sent to several authorized jewelers to produce. The result was considerable variation in the style of badges from this era. The anchor is an age-old symbol of hope. The badge pairs this with a shield to represent the ideals of the Fraternity. Just three years after this sketch was made the first edition of The ANCHORA would be produced with the cover heavily referencing this symbol.
We introduce you to Anchor 1881. This premium 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.
Celebrate Hope:
Our beloved Anchor was chosen as our badge in 1877 because it is the age-old symbol for hope. Today, in each sister, chapter and milestone, we continue to celebrate the hope that connects each of us. We celebrate the hope we have in each other and in our pursuit of doing good. And we celebrate the promise of sisterhood that has been our anchor in life’s many storms and successes.
We have many to thank for the growth and success we have experienced throughout the last 147 years and all the years to come. May this bottle be shared in celebration as we toast the ever-expanding lifetime bonds of our Delta Gamma sisterhood.
We introduce to you Celebrate Hope. 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.
Order of the Rose:
Women have fought for recognition of their contributions in the workforce for hundreds of years. Until relatively recently, it was almost impossible for a woman, no matter her skills, abilities and education to enter most professions. The roadblocks have been numerous, but women never gave up. Seeing the need to support women in this endeavor, Fraternity Council established the Order of the Delta Gamma Rose in 1951. It is the highest award presented by the Fraternity and honors alumnae members who have made distinguished contributions to the nation and/or the world. May each glass you enjoy be a reminder of those who came before us and made the path a little easier for all who come after.
We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Order of the Rose. This is a premium and classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hints 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.
Flourish:
Education for women in the 1800s focused on the cultivation of “ladylike” behavior and skills including creative pursuits such as drawing. The Lewis School in Oxford Mississippi was no exception. However, times were changing.1870 saw the first women graduate from law school in the United States and in 1882, only nine years after the founding of Delta Gamma, the University of Mississippi would begin admitting women. These new opportunities broke barriers that would allow future generations of women to pursue their education and dreams as never before.
We introduce you to Flourish. This 2021 Rosé Wine has watermelon and strawberry notes burst out of the glass. When served cool on a warm day, the juicy acidity of this wine makes for a very refreshing and versatile wine to share at any occasion.
