Brother Dr. W.M. “Red” Stevenson, OHIO 1922, was a successful physician and a big game hunter. In the late 1930s, Brother Stevenson began the tradition of annually inviting Brothers to his home to enjoy a feast of wild game that he had brought back from his travels worldwide. After dinner, brothers would enjoy fine cigars and good brandy. Rumor has it that they may have also enjoyed a few “wild games of chance.”

By 1945, the annual function had outgrown Brother Stephenson’s home, becoming an official Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter function. Other Brothers began chipping in and donating wild game such as deer, ducks, geese, and quail, as well as fish and even alligators. The first official Sigma Chi Wild Game Dinner was held in 1945 at the Houston Club.

This beautiful red wine celebrates the 75th Annual Wild Game Dinner and the brotherhood near and dear to all our hearts.

Tasting Notes

Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel, this 2018 Napa Valley Red Blend is rich and beautifully balanced. Layers of blackberry and ripe cherry are accented by notes of coffee, tobacco, and warm spice. Plush tannins lead to a long, dry finish with lingering berry fruit, making this wine equally enjoyable today or after years of graceful aging.

Food Pairings

Pairs well with: Grilled ribeye, Lamb chops, Stuffed mushrooms with sausage, Gruyère, Aged Gouda, Lava cake, Mixed berry tart
