In The Flame:
Archives:
Over the years, in honor of our founding, many gifts have been presented to the University to celebrate anniversaries. In 1927, Delta Zeta presented the Sun Dial to Miami University, commemorating the Sorority’s Silver Anniversary. As we near Delta Zeta’s 125th Anniversary and prepare to celebrate, as countless before us have come and gone, we remember that our sisterhood marches on before this dial of time.
We introduce you to our Archives Pinot Noir. 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.
Presidential:
In 1934, Elizabeth Coulter Stephenson wrote the Legend of the Rose Garden. In it, she states “Looking at the center of the rose we marvel no longer at the beauty and strength of the sepals and petals, for strong straight and majestic in the very center of the rose stands the pistil, symbolical of the Grand president. Supporting this central point are the stamens, symbolical of the officers of the Grand Council.”
The rose is not just a symbol of our sisterhood, but a symbol of our leadership signifying the strength of our leaders far and wide. We raise a glass to our leaders of the past who have left a legacy and pave the way for the future.
We introduce you to Presidential. This 2019 Red Wine is an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.
The Rose:
Few symbols mean as much to Delta Zetas as the Killarney rose. A symbol of gratitude, grace, admiration and joy, the rose is the blend of red of courage and the white of purity. Each of us comes to Delta Zeta as a bud, a new member, and through our Delta Zeta experience blossom into the women we are today.
We introduce you to The Rose. 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 follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
The Patron:
Dr. Guy Potter Benton was President of Miami University at the time of Delta Zeta’s founding in 1902 and was instrumental in working with the Founders in the early development of the Sorority. For his great and continued interest in the Sorority, Dr. Benton was made Grand Patron, a position of honor he held for the remainder of his life. He was the only man ever permitted to wear the Delta Zeta badge. Together, we raise a glass to our Grand Patron, in honor of his loyalty and the legacy which he helped build.
We introduce you to The Patron. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of 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.
everlasting:
“May the friendships we make, and the kindliness we have for each other, be everlasting.”
Founder Alfa Lloyd Hayes, who served as Delta Zeta’s National President from 1908-1912, wrote those words to delegates at the Golden Anniversary Convention in 1952.
Delta Zeta members know that our sisterhood is everlasting. Though the years and decades may pass, the friendships we’ve made with each other sustain us for life.
Cheers to celebrating our everlasting friendship!
We introduce you to everlasting. 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.
