It’s National Wine Day, and there’s no other way I would rather celebrate than tasting a new bottle of wine from Trader Joe’s! After spending time in South Africa, I fell in love with their wine, and I am constantly on the lookout for great bottles. Last week, while I was wandering the aisles of Trader Joe’s, I noticed a new bottle on the shelf from David Frost. After closer inspection, I realized that the wine was produced in South Africa, and a bottle immediately went into my cart.

If you’re anything like me, now that the temperatures are rising, you tend to gravitate towards cooler beverage options like white and rosé wines. If that’s the case, this is one bottle you won’t want to miss! Let’s jump into the tasting details, shall we?

TASTING NOTES:

  • Screwtop

  • Pale straw color

  • Crisp and refreshing

  • Grassy and citrus notes throughout the wine

  • Dry finish with slight minerality

  • Slight acidity

Verdict:

As we approach the three-day weekend, I’m already mentally preparing my checklist, and I can assure you there will be a few bottles of this wine in my cooler. This David Frost Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that’s easy to drink and would pair well with many dishes. Sip it on the patio or enjoy a glass by the pool, but whatever you do, save a glass for me!

Until Next Time!

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!
