Wine Information:
Double Honor:
In finding the people who inspire, challenge, encourage and love you, there is a spark that ignites you to inspire, challenge, encourage and love them right back. That is the double honor of Alpha Phi. All those who have the honor of joining Alpha Phi understand that Alpha Phi is also honored to welcome them into the sisterhood. Our loyal circle is full of determination and generosity because of the members linked together for a lifetime. We hope the moment you became an Alpha Phi lives on in your heart forever. The moment you joined certainly remains alive in ours.
Honor and celebrate our sisterhood.
We introduce you to Double Honor. 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.
Double Honor 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.
Forget Me Not:
Fidelity, love and respect – these are what the beautiful Forget Me Not flower represents. Selected as one of our Alpha Phi symbols by our early members, these hardy blossoms are striking beauties that survive the cold and the heat, returning year after year to remind us of our never-ending connection to our sisters. Included in our celebrations of initiation, weddings and everything in between, forget me nots prompt Alpha Phis to remember that sisterhood perseveres from season to season, bringing joy and comfort.
We introduce you to Forget-Me-Not. 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.
150th Anniversary:
Alpha Phi celebrates 150 years of sisterhood in 2022, a milestone moment for our beloved Fraternity and sisters across the globe. This release of 150 draws inspiration from the presence our members pledge to one another.
Whether initiated in 1872 or 2022, Alpha Phis of every generation have celebrated success and leaned on one another in the face of challenge. From widespread threats like war and disease, to localized dangers like disaster and loss, our burdens are more bearable because we stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters. The presence we commit to each other, and the love that guides our thoughts and actions, nurture the bonds formed in the springtime of our youth. That unwavering support steadies us, shines us light for us and is the spark that inspires us to new heights.
Be inspired by the present. Cheers to the next 150 years.
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 follow through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
Determined - Louise:
After earning her bachelor's degree, she continued her education, receiving her master's degree in modern languages. A lover of language, she became an Italian teacher and correspondent for several newspapers. Throughout her life, Louise continued writing for various papers, passionately advocating for rights and opportunities for women that the world had yet to grant but that she was determined to see realized.
This elegant 2022 red wine opens with enticing aromas of ripe plum, black fig and roasted chestnut, accented by subtle herbal notes and warm baking spice. The palate is rich and expressive, revealing layers of blackberry and dark cherry, supported by refined tannins and balanced acidity. Full-bodied yet beautifully composed, it finishes long and smooth, with lingering notes of spice and dark fruit—a wine inspired by the strength, passion, and determination of Alpha Phi’s own Louise Viola Shepard Hancock.
Pledge Me A Toast:
Decorated with a wreath of ivy, a sign of strength under pressure, which makes everlasting the ties that connect Alpha Phis, the Loving Cup is a pledge of our warm welcome to the newest members of our sisterhood. When Alpha Phi was formed as a secret society to gather women in a spirit of solidarity, support and love, our Founders reaffirmed the respect we owe to one another and to all women who lead with character, give generously, support each other as sisters and boldly create new opportunities. When members partake in the Loving Cup ceremony, we bring to life the lyrics of “Pledge Me a Toast.” Pledge me a toast before we part, forget the parting’s pain. One that shall bind us heart to heart until we meet again. A toast that time can never dim, nor absence make less dear. One that shall sweeter, deeper grow…with every changing year….
We introduce you to Pledge Me A Toast. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes 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.
Heart To Heart:
Our college years may end, but our bonds through Alpha Phi live on forever. This sisterhood, rooted in generosity and philanthropy, supports us, and lasts a lifetime. As Alpha Phi's we always have someone to confide in, someone to share new experiences with, someone to conquer difficult challenges with and someone to cheer you on as you achieve things you never thought possible. Here, you’ll find sisters who want the best for one another and expect the best from each other, all while standing together united heart in heart and hand in hand.
We introduce you to Heart To Heart, our 2021 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon. The watermelon and strawberry notes burst out of the glass. When served cool on a warm day, the juicy acidity of the 2021 Rosé makes for a very refreshing and versatile wine, perfect to share on any occasion. Look for the hidden imagery in the rose petals.
