Over the last two evenings I have discovered delightfully lively Beaujolais wine. This evening I had a younger AOC (french certified) Beaujolais that's fairly sassy. Joseph Drouhin 2006 is a racy wine that is crisp and tart with a long lingering mineral aftertaste. It paired very well with a stronger, fruity Italian Taleggio cheese. A sweet strawberry and chocolate dessert would follow this wine well... perhaps some baking is in store for this evening!
Besides the wine, I have also discovered some fun Samba music on Pandora today. One of my favorite songs is "Summer Samba" which has friendly and hauntingly familiar melody. Here are the lovely lyrics that pull me in and let me lose myself in romance:
Someone to hold me tight
that would be very nice.
Someone to love me right
that would be very nice.
Someone to understand
each little dream in me.
Someone to take my hand
and be a team with me.
So nice, life would be so nice
if one day I'd find
someone who would take my hand
and samba through life with me.
Someone to cling with me,
stay with me right or wrong.
Someone to sing to me
some little samba song.
Someone to take my heart
and give his heart to me.
Someone who's ready to
give love a start with me.
Oh yeah, that would be so nice.
I could see you and me, that would be so nice.
Oh yes, that would be so nice!
Shouldn't we, you and me?
I can see it will be nice!
I want that man, who will hold me tight and who will understand all the little dreams in me. Who will be the one to stay with me right or wrong? (Because I can be right and wrong) Ohhh this samba song will keep me warm this Winter, until Spring brings growth and light again.
