Wine Information:
Untold Stories - Hera:
From the archives of Alpha Chi Omega, celebrate sisters and the gifts given in recognition of significant Alpha Chi Omega moments. Award of Achievement recipient Marcia Clapp DeRocco (Alpha Chi, Butler University) presented her sculpture of Hera, Alpha Chi Omega’s patron goddess, as a gift when Alpha Chi Omega moved into its Indianapolis headquarters on Washington Boulevard in 1961.
We introduce you to Untold Stories - Hera. 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.
Carnation:
Forever a symbol of friendship within Alpha Chi Omega, the red carnation is a joyful reminder of the Bond shared among sisters. The flower is an illustration of everything that is noble, good, and true, and it connects members to one another and the Fraternity.
We introduce you to Carnation. 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.
Three Muses:
Since the first issue of The Lyre magazine in 1894, Alpha Chi Omega has captured the history of the organization and engaged members with written words in chapter newsletters, history books, alumnae directories, blog articles, and more. Regardless of the medium, members have celebrated together and shared the bonds of sisterhood through written correspondence.
Alpha Chi Omega also advances literary endeavors by supporting the Star Studio at MacDowell, an artists’ retreat. Writers who have stayed at MacDowell have created more than two dozen Pulitzer Prize-winning works during their residencies.
We introduce you to Three Muses. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate of 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 tart acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
