Who would have thought McAlester, OK, mostly famous for a prison rodeo, would have a winery this interesting? A flight of wine was $15, which I thought was high until I saw the size of the pour. This is a tasting where you might consider having a designated driver. Along with the wine you get chocolate and crackers to clear your palate. For people who haven't read my wine reviews, I'm not an oenophile by any means. I know what I like and it's normally sweet. I find most expensive, snooty wine tastes like drain cleaner to me. So readers of Wine Connoisseur probably won't like what I like. That being said, I really liked Wild Child. The bottles are not inexpensive, I paid $21 for my bottle. Whether or not you buy a bottle afterwards, the tasting is well worth the money. There is also an extensive store inside the winery where you can get wine–related goods.
