It has been a WEEK. The kind of week that makes you question every life choice ( and often ask yourself- are these people delusional, or is it me?), check the weather app with increasing resentment, and decide that leaving the house is simply not worth the heat. Add Nashville in August temperatures to the mix, and my motivation to do anything remotely productive or put on real clothes or go anywhere has officially evaporated.

Fortunately, there’s a silver lining to being trapped indoors during a heat wave: there’s PLENTY of time to drink wine.

At this point, I’m embracing the only sensible summer strategy: crank up the air conditioning, find something good to eat, and open a bottle of wine. Preferably followed by another bottle. And frankly, I can think of worse ways to spend a weekend.

Consider this wine review a public service announcement. Let’s get into the details as we enjoy 2025 Corvelia Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes:

  • Pale straw hue with a soft golden yellow cast

  • Dry and crisp with citrus-driven acidity- imagine lemon, apple, and notes of peach

  • Faint minerality present

  • Clean, refreshing finish

Verdict:

Friends, this is yet another lovely bottle from Trader Joe’s. It’s fresh, fruit-forward, easy-drinking Sauvignon Blanc. Obviously, this is a bottle that can stand alone and would be quite enjoyable while cooking, but it would also pair nicely with a hearty salad or grilled fish (in fact, I am still dreaming of the fish I had last weekend in Mexico City! YUM!). Grab this bottle while you can- well worth the price point!

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!
