Cherry Blossom Rosé 2017

Cherry Blossom Rosé

Vintage: 2017

Region: California

Alcohol Percentage: 13.0%

Price: $4.99

Tasting Notes: 

I made a major wine faux pas and stored this bottle in my fridge. It's been brutally hot in Nashville and all I wanted was a chilled glass of rosé.  Without hesitation, I pulled this bottle out and poured myself a hearty glass. Immediately, I could tell that it was too chilled. It barely had a nose and I couldn't taste many flavors. Giving it ample time to warm up a bit, I revisited the Cherry Blossom Rosé. 

  • Light-Medium Body

  • Medium Acidity

  • Strawberry notes throughout

After a few sips, I had to put the glass down. I simply could not waste any more calories sipping a wine that reminded of Beringer's White Zinfandel. While I can't place my finger on it, without a doubt, I am not a fan.

Verdict: No Way, Rosé. Save your $4.99 

Until Next Time! 

Catherine Courtney

Welcome to Blonde Voyage Nashville!

I am so excited to finally see this dream become a reality.  Between the destination restaurants, the copious amount of food photos and insanely crazy travel stories, I have decided to share my journey. 

My name is Catherine Courtney and I am a Nashville native with a penchant for culinary creativity and epic travel adventures. I'll admit... I also have a slight obsession with handbags.

Two years ago, my life changed completely.  Everything that I knew to be was completely turned upside down.  I quickly realized that time is our greatest commodity and it's not to be taken for granted. I couldn't wait for the perfect time, who knew when that would be.  I needed to take the leap and explore the world on my own.  There were so many places I wanted to go, but where would I start. 

France was always one of those places that I had romanticized.  Wandering the streets of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower were at the top of my list. Without hesitation, I booked a two week trip to the French Rivera and Paris.  It was a journey of a lifetime.  Not only were amazing friendships cultivated, but it was on that trip that i discovered that food and travel are the embers that that keep my soul on fire. 

It wasn't until I arrived back in Nashville with my passport that I realized I had been bit. Wanderlust had completely taken over.  I already started thinking about where I wanted to go next.  It was then that I decided that it was more important to have camera full of photos and a tattered journal full of stories than anything else. My heart was overflowing.

One of my favorite quotes that resonates is from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland:

"Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures...."

Join me as I explore near and far away places, filling my passport full of stamps and satiating my appetite with some of the most amazing cuisine the world has to offer. 

Thanks for reading!
