Redbud Sweet Red - Put a Cork in It Winery

After trying the different wines from mine and Theresa’s wine tasting experience, we decided to pick a wine to take home. While I thought the Indian Paintbrush Merlot was tasty, we both agreed that the Redbud sweet red wine was our favorite.

Redbud is a red zinfandel that was just sweet enough without overpowering the delectable pomegranate flavor. It is almost like a kool-aid for adults. The aroma of the pomegranate is subtle with a light wine smell.

It is different from most of the wines I have tasted due to it being a pomegranate wine instead of a grape based one. I think that this would make for an excellent summer wine. Maybe complement it with some type of chocolate snack or wafer cookie.

While I am usually big on finding types of food that work well with wine, I think that Redbud stands pretty strong on its own. It is a comfortable drink and any sweet red wine lover will fall in love with its flavor and refreshing qualities.

Overall, Redbud is merely one of the many choices of sweet wines that Put a Cork in It Winery has to offer. Don’t take my word for it though. Next time you are strolling through Bricktown before a Red Hawks game or wanting to class up a Hooters night, stop by Put a Cork in It and indulge in what could be your new favorite sweet red. And if Redbud doesn’t do it for you, then you still have four more choices to make with no out of pocket expense. You’d almost be crazy to not to go and try.
