Wine Information:
The First:
For Alpha Phis, the original Alpha house was the promise of eternal sisterhood and friendship, a safe place to land and a home away from home. This is where our early members spent hours dreaming of the ways they would shape the future for the next generation of women. Alpha Phi proudly established the first chapter house for women in North America in 1886. After planning, persevering, saving funds and designing a floorplan that brought their dreams to life, members welcomed more than 300 guests to celebrate their milestone in home ownership. The aesthetic gems of the home were the stained-glass windows featuring circular designs in earth and jewel tones, as well as the beloved Lazy Phi design. If eyes are windows to the soul, the windows at the Alpha house were loving eyes gazing out over the chapter sisters as they made history.
Dare to be the first.
We introduce you to The First. Our 2021 The First Pinot Noir is from the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County. This beautiful wine is influenced mostly by the fog of the AVA and is very aromatic, with a velvet mouthfeel and has a fruit character that is ripe and intense.
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.
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.
