Wine Information: Diamond: Our character should always be as pure as the peerless diamond, and just as the diamond blazes with the light of truth, our love for our brothers blazes on today. The tradition of drinking champagne to mark celebrations originated in the royal courts of Europe in the 18th century. This particular selection was created to celebrate the best of times with our brothers. We introduce to you, Diamond. 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 Oak: Toward the end of his life, founder William Alexander likened Pi Kappa Alpha to the oak and drew the image depicted on this label, with roots grown from the acorn of 1868 and branches covering more than fifteen decades. A fair comparison: the oak holds the earth together against winds, waters, and storms on the southern coast of our country; in the East, it covers acre after acre; in the West, it dominates the landscape. The strength of the oak has come to represent the hearts of true men. The second release of “The Oak” Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for 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 tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay. Retail Price: $284.50 1868 Club Member Price: $227.60
