Hey, I’m Blythe. I started this blog because I was looking for a creative outlet. I wanted to make sure the content was useful, so I thought about what my friends reach out to me with
questions on.
Wine is the first thing that came to mind. I have friends and family texting me on a regular basis for wine recommendations, so I thought I’d share that same information with you. I know wine can be a confusing subject with all the different ratings and the ‘wine words’ people use. I promise I’ll only ever recommend wines I’ve tried and love, and that I will do my best to only use wine descriptors that actually make sense. I’ll also share the wine knowledge I’ve picked up over time. Hopefully reading my posts will help you feel more confident about your wine selections! And I’ll talk about spirits too.
Travel is the second thing that came to mind. More specifically, the trip planning portion of traveling. I enjoy planning and researching trips, which results in itineraries that everyone on the trip enjoys. And now I’ll share my itineraries with you. You may notice that my love of wine and my love of travel often collide.
Local recommendations are the final thing that came to mind. I’ve lived in quite a few cities (six to be exact) and have always done my best to get to know my city. So I’ll share things like
restaurant recommendations and the best places to go when you feel like being a tourist in your own city. These recommendations will lean heavily into Chicago since it’s my current city, but I have many favorites to recommend in Columbus, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Manhattan and Philadelphia too.
I hope you enjoy and find the information helpful!
