Wine Information:

Old Wesleyan:

Beloved by all Phi Mu members, Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, is the home of the Alpha Chapter. The school, then Georgia Female College, was the first institution in the world to grant college-level degrees to women. Ninety young women, as young as 12, enrolled on opening day: January 7, 1839. Wesleyan was home to the Philomathean Society beginning in 1852. A Phi Mu presence remains on campus with a quatrefoil-shaped bronze plaque, originally in the Philomathean Room and now leading to the Memorial Garden; three chandeliers in the dining hall; and two gateway entrances.

We introduce you to Old Wesleyan. 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.

1852 Reserve:

The year 1852 enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of Phi Mus and of those yet to join. The founding date of the Philomathean Society, which later became Phi Mu Fraternity, is placed at January 4, 1852. On March 4 of that year, the members announced their new Society to Wesleyan Female College. That date has become when Phi Mu’s Founders’ Day is celebrated.

We introduce you to 1852 Reserve. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes 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.

Aglaia:

Aglaia was one of the three Graces commonly mentioned in Greek mythology who were ‘graceful and beautiful maidens.’ While it is not documented why early Phi Mus chose Aglaia for the name of our magazine, one theory is that, spelled phonetically, Aglaia may mean ‘angel or messenger.’ Which of course works perfectly for that important way we communicate with members.

We introduce you to Aglaia. This 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.
