“Remember, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene?’ ” Parton asked. “But my new Pinot noir has changed all that! I love red now. You should try it!”
Decked out in blue wrapping and butterfly designs, the bottle made an appearance in the social media post.
Her new wine is making its debut the same month that theJolenealbum was released in 1974. The song itself is celebrating its 52nd anniversary later this year, as it was released as a single in October 1973.
