Wine Information:
Fairwinds Dead Reckoning:
When the wind is in your favor, and life’s waves are carrying you forward, the key to happiness is to recognize and appreciate these moments. We named Fairwinds to mark these special times and created our wines for you to ‘live in the moment’ and celebrate the fair winds and following seas of your journey.
While respecting the precision of modern navigation, mariners of old used the Method of dead reckoning. By taking the time spent on each heading and at each speed they could calculate the route and distance the ship had covered and mark a sea chart. For all the precision of modern winemaking, sometimes there’s no substitute for the tried-and-true art of dead reckoning.
We introduce you to Dead Reckoning. 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.
The Lion Trophy:
The Lion Trophy wine celebrates Delta Kappa Epsilon’s highest honor and most esteemed award. This prestigious accolade, named after the Tiffany & Co. trophy, represents the pinnacle of achievement in chapter leadership, scholarship, and community impact. Designed and crafted in pure sterling silver by Tiffany & Co. in 1894 for DKE’s 50th anniversary, the priceless trophy was presented to our last living founder, William Boyd Jacobs, and has since become one of the fraternity’s most valued and enduring artifacts. Awarded annually to the most outstanding chapter, The Lion Trophy embodies the excellence, tradition, and pride that define our brotherhood. With each sip of this distinguished wine, you raise a glass to the pursuit of greatness, the legacy of Delta Kappa Epsilon, and the enduring spirit of leadership that continues to inspire generations.
We introduce you to The Lion Trophy. Deep garnet in color, the aromas of this 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon are pure and focused - concentrated red and black fruits, with cocoa powder and underlying notes of oak barrel spice supporting the fruit forward nature of this wine. Powerful yet balanced tannins are abundant on the palate and are accompanied by notes of dark cherry and blackberry. The mouthfeel is structured, giving way to a long and graceful finish.
It’s Never Over:
From the chalky soil of southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate like the youthful dance of a neophyte and a wooly goat. This stunning wine is light and friendly, apropos of our timeless motto, “Friends from the heart forever,” with subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes it a perfect starter for the Undertakers’ Ball or gameday festivities. - W.G.
