I was meandering through Corkscrew Liquor in Norman looking
to pick up some more ingredients for my “studies”. After making my way past the
sales of McCormick Vodka and PBR, I found the Oklahoma wine and beer area. I
had been drinking a lot of beer so I wanted to get some more wine.
The area of Oklahoma wine, while fairly small, was
surprisingly diverse. I looked through the wine and noticed that Land Run Wines
seemed to have very interesting titles to wines. I picked up Land Run
Mistletoe. I wanted to expand to wines that I can drink alone. The Land Run
Mistletoe is a sweet red that drank very well on its own. I didn’t pair it with
anything. It is a good wine for new wine drinkers to start with. It is a mixed
berry wine and reminds me of your basic mixed berry fruit juice. I think that
this would be a great picnicking wine for when the weather gets a little
warmer.
Thinking back to the liquor store and looking at wine, I
remembered that there were many different fruity wines to choose from. Because
of the natural sweetness of the different berries showcased in the Land Run
wines, there are many different types of sweet wines. So if mixed berry isn’t
your flavor then try a blackberry or white cranberry. Land Run winery offer red
and whites that please anyone’s sweet tooth.
The prices of the wines range from $10.99 to $15.99
depending on the wine you pick. That’s not bad considering the taste of the two
wines I have had so far. For people interested in pairing the Mistletoe Sweet
Red, try it with Asian food, Cajun food, or a sweet desert.
Thus far, I have enjoyed both wines from the Land Run
Winery. They have a large collection of wines and I hope to get another one to
try pretty soon.
