The Oklahoma weather can be extremely unpredictable so when the weather is good we take full advantage of being outdoors! A fun way we like to celebrate the great weather is by taking a fancy picnic to the park. We've created a fun menu of wine and cheese you can bring on your next outdoor adventure for a chic afternoon outdoors. Here are 5 wine and cheese pairings for your next picnic in the park!
