As a member of the Fifty5 Wine Club, you have a unique opportunity to celebrate Iota Phi Theta's history and ensure its future!

Building A Tradition, Not Resting Upon One, the motto of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. a motto that should drive each member of our fraternity, to continue to dig, moving forward and upward in our collective and individual plights.

As the first D-9, NPHC organization to work in conjunction with Fairwinds Estate Winery, we are excited to introduce our 1963 Napa Valley wine, and the Club Fifty5. 1963 Napa Valley allows our members the opportunity to strengthen the bond of brotherhood in a different manner by collectively following the light of the Polaris to afford our fraternity the opportunity to solidify programming, technological endeavors and to attack the initiatives of the One Iota Foundation that focuses on mental health and cancer research just to name a few. Brothers who become members will receive limited production, handcrafted, 1963 Napa Valley wines made exclusively for Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. Join the Club Fifty5 and enjoy award-winning wines while financially supporting the philanthropic endeavors of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

IDRYTES Founder Lonnie C. Spruill, Jr. - 2018 Red Wine - Napa Valley

Those that create a way for others are looked upon as pathfinders. Those that sacrifice and break from the norm are called innovators. Those that light the way of the long, winding road, we honor. On September 19, 1963, at Morgan State College (now Morgan State University), 12 students founded a predominantly African-American social service fraternity. We pay tribute to these men, the founding fathers of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

We introduce you to IDRYTES Founder Lonnie C. Spruill, Jr. This proprietary red blend – from our award-winning winemaker Todd Heth – 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.
