Wine Information:
Blue & Blue:
I love your dark and your light blue sang a Kappa ever true. In Kappa songs and verses, our blues are described as the “hues of the sky and the sea.” Kappa lore tells us Founder Hannah Jeannette “Jennie” Boyd, Monmouth, recommended the two shades of blue. The colors represent the trust and loyalty found in our sisterhood. For colors selected over 150 years ago, like fine wine, they have aged well.
We introduce you to Blue & Blue. This pinot noir 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. Perfect for raising a toast to the blue and blue.
The Stewart House Reserve:
You’ll always belong in Kappa, you’ll always feel the connection of our sisterhood, and now it’s time to toast to The Stewart House. Located at 1015 E. Euclid Ave., this 1865 prairie-style Victorian house in Monmouth, Illinois, was the childhood home of Founder Mary “Minnie” Moore Stewart and became the birthplace of Kappa Kappa Gamma when the original charter was signed in the front parlor. Kappa’s crown jewel is now owned by the Kappa Foundation, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and welcomes the public into Kappa’s and women’s history.
We introduce you to Stewart House Reserve. 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.
On the Heart:
On the heart of each sister lies one key that binds us. The badge that reminds us of fraternity days. There’s nothing quite like spotting a key or fleur-de-lis in passing to transform two strangers into sisters. You know the feeling. Our little golden key connects thousands of women across time and miles, always reminding us of our dear Kappa days.
We introduce you to On the Heart. 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.
