If your in Oklahoma and traveling between Oklahoma City and Tulsa and have some free time for a small excursion theres a wonderful wine vineyard a short drive off of Route 66 in Drumright Oklahoma. We had the pleasure of stopping there on our way back from our trip to The Christmas Train at Dry Gulch, USA. http://www.christmastrain.com/ As you pull into the small dirt parking lot, before you is a beautiful old red brick school, with a bell tower on the roof and lush green vineyards covering the field in back. It is a screen right off a postcard. Upon entering the foray,the first thing you will noticed is the gorgeous hardwood floors, then you walk up a couple of stairs and down a large hallway. Lovely art work and old fashion pictures line the walls creating and then and now feeling. Then you arrived to the tasting room, it has a very California winery feeling with an Oklahoma flavor. On the wall behind the tasting bar are a collection of clocks all having wine themes, but set to different times, each one representing winery's around the world. Your greeted by a very sweet and knowledgeable hostess, at any given time they have between 18 and 24 selections for your sampling pleasure, even the most harden wine enthusiast will find something pleasing to their pallet. Here are my favorites:
Dry Whites: Oklahoma Chardonnay
Dry Reds: Impressao
Semi-Sweet & Sweet: 1. Oklahoma Sunset 2. Tidal Estate White Cab Franc '06 Blush
The Reserve: Oklahoma Shiraz
Cordial: Cherry Chocolate Cordial
Desert Wine: Cherry Gusher
So for a tasting advanture, and a peace ful getaway this is the place to go! you can visit their website at http://www.tidalschool.com/
Until next time may your glasses always be full!!
