Favorite Wine: Winter Ice
My Daughter, Rachel and I Went to the address listed on the website. When we arrived we were surprised to find it was a very nice house in pleasant rural addition. We saw some winery equipment and the half-acre of grapevines led us to believe we were at the right address. We rang the doorbell but know one answered so I decided to call the phone number listed on the website. Mrs. Martin answered the phone and informed us we were at the right place but her husband was not home and they take appointments for wine tasting and tours. I apologized for not knowing this and explained that we were from Enid and the website didn’t say anything about appointments. She welcomed us into her home and we had a very nice time. My daughter made friends instantly with two beautiful resident cats. They don’t have your typical storefront with the wine tasting/gift shop. I believe they have something much better, a very relaxed homey atmosphere to taste their wine. You see currently their dinning room is the gift shop and the prep island in their kitchen is the wine tasting area where we tasted some outstanding wines. Most of their wines have won either locally, state, or national awards. I’m not an expert on wines by any means but I know what I like and I liked their wines. They are planning on building a storefront with the wine tasting/gift shop. I just hope they keep the same down to earth friendly atmosphere that they have now. I would definitely recommend visiting them and their wines.

I tried calling Moonfeathers Winery using the number listed on the website only to hear a recording that the number called is not a working number. I hoped the web designer had only made a typo and headed out for a visit. I picked up my daughter Rachel who goes with me and we headed out. It was a raining dreary day so we were looking forward to getting there. Unfortunately when we did the gate was closed, the building’s windows were dark, the grass and weeds were overgrown and there wasn’t any kind of sign. We couldn’t figure out for sure if they were out of business, closed for the season, or just closed for the day. From the way it looked our guess was closed for business all together and that was what we heard from the next winery we traveled to. So if you are planning on visiting the Moonfeathers Winery I would confirm that they are open for business somehow prior to venturing there.

Favorite Wine: Sooner Spirit
Aug 2007 my daughter and I visited the Indian Creek Village it’s located one-mile west and about one-quarter mile north of Ringwood OK. Besides a winery they also have a 100-year-old bed & breakfast and church. It’s a really nice setup if you looking to get married or just like to get away for the weekend. The gift shop was smaller and the wine, which is what we were looking for, wasn’t displayed very well. All you could see was the bottom of the bottles in one rack as you walked in. The prices were a little higher so I only bought one bottle called Sooner Spirit at $14.95. They had a different one called Cowboy Blush which Rachel liked but I being a diehard Sooner fan would die before having something to do with “cowboys” in my house. I did buy my daughter a tee shirt and myself a hat. The trip back was nice and overall it was a very pleasant day with my daughter.

Favorite Wine: Flaming Ice
The gentleman running the winery was very informative about wines. More information than I really wanted. Gave my daughter and myself a lesson on how wines are graded on sweetness. Insisted we try every wine starting with the dry wines and working up to the sweeter wines. I don’t care for a lot of the dryer wines. I prefer the sweeter wines and he has some really good ones. I mention that he needs to list better directions on his web page. I missed the turnoff to the winery twice. The web page said to go one mile but it’s actually about one block and you have to look for a very small sign. I will return.
