Don't Know Why - WINE SONG WEDNESDAY

Don't Know Why
Norah Jones

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in
wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in
wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

ENTWINE




Today in the Touring & Tasting office, we had the opportunity to taste a new wine! entwine is the result of merging Wente Vineyards, the country's oldest continuously operated family-owned winery, and The Food Network, a popular network, magazine and website. This new California line emphasizes the way family, friends, food and wine all come together to make a meal more than just a meal, to make it an experience! Make sure to check out the interactive website dedicated to entwine!!

This afternoon in the office, we tasted the 2010 Chardonnay. The chilled wine is perfect on a hot day like today! The wine has a lovely nose and is crisp with flavors of apple and pear with just a touch of oak. It's cool and refreshing! 

My favorite part? The food pairing suggestions on the back! Gourmet suggestions of goat cheese or roast chicken alongside easy, familiar suggestions of potato chips and grilled cheese! 

I can't wait to try the other 3 wines in the line, the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Pinot Grigio, and the Merlot! 

Have any of you tried entwine yet? Let us know what you think!! Post pictures of yourselves drinking entwine on Touring & Tasting's Fan page or email them to katie@touringandtasting.com and be entered to WIN in our weekly wine contest!
