True North - Ms. Mildred - 2022 Red Wine, Napa Valley

Mildred Connely’s vision set the trajectory of Theta Phi Alpha. A 1910 University of Michigan graduate, she served as acting president at the fateful August 30, 1912 meeting and became the first alumnae association president following commencement in 1913. Mildred went on to become Second National President, first Chairman of the Board of Trustees, was the first recipient of the Guard of Honor, and was designated “Lifetime Keeper of the Ritual.” Her eye for a Theta Phi Alpha of tomorrow during its humble beginnings and her zeal to drive change place her among the most impactful of its members.

We introduce you to Ms. Mildred. This captivating red wine showcases a deep, dark hue, hinting at aromas of damson plum, fig, roasted chestnut, and a lively herbal essence. On the palate, it opens with vibrant, juicy fruit-forward notes before unfolding into layers of baking spices and rich dark fruits. Full-bodied and well-structured, it carries through to a smooth, lingering finish.
