TASTING NOTES: 

Even though rosé is considered a summer wine, I was intrigued by this Pinot Grigio Rosé by Villa Borghetti and had to give it try. Speaking as a seasoned rosé drinker, (trust me, I’ve had my fair share of bottles over the past few summers), this was a new twist on one of my favorite summer wines. Yes, it was below freezing when I tried this but I just couldn’t help myself.

I’ve been trying to escape the bleakness of winter by reliving my Italian vacation and have been on a bit of an Italian wine kick lately. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this wine was DOC, which means it meets a specific quality standard and is produced within a certain region. At this price point, it’s not something you often come across.

Happily, I poured myself a glass and gave it a swirl.

Here were some of my initial observations:

  • Pale pink hue

  • Peach aromas

  • Strawberry and faint notes of raspberry

  • Notes of citrus throughout- think tangerine

  • Light, smooth, and easy to drink

Verdict: 

This Villa Borghetti Pinot Grigio Rosé is a solid purchase and given its price point, it’s a steal. Call it a pool pounder or a patio sipper, this wine is perfect for warmer weather but could also serve as the perfect “warm-up” for celebrating Thanksgiving with the family.

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!
