About Us | ItsFridaySoWine.com

ItsFridaySoWine.com is a personal wine and food blog based in Ancaster, Ontario, offering tasting notes, food-pairing ideas, and casual wine reviews for everyday wine drinkers. Ada & I typically choose a specific bottle, describe its aroma, flavor profile, body, and how well it pairs with a meal, sharing honest personal impressions rather than professional critic language. We also occasionally review winery visits and tasting experiences, highlighting what stood out to them. The tone is informal, friendly, and opinion-driven, and the site uses affiliate links to help support its content.

Hi, we’re Rick and Ada Blythe– hosts of It’s Friday, so wine!

Why “It’s Friday, so wine”?

Rick is a retired IT professional, but Ada is still employed in a high-stress corporate job. Every Friday, we’d joke about the long work week ending and text/email/send smoke signals that IT’S FRIDAY, SO WINE!

This opened our eyes and palate to trying something a little different every week. We needed a place to consolidate our favorites, share our reviews, and pepper in some educational insights! We are by no stretch of the imagination experts of any sort, but we are friendly, fun, and eager to explore and learn more about the wine we like to drink.

What sets ItsFridaySoWine apart from the myriad of wine bloggers out there is our unwavering commitment to firsthand experience. For us, it’s not enough to simply read or hear about some wine. Although we are fans of international wines (we are looking at you, Argentinian Malbec!), we are also a stone’s throw away from the world-famous Niagara region of wineries. We are excited to showcase these wineries and their wares.

About Ada Blythe

I am married to Rick Blythe (see below).

I enjoy all things wine, sitting on the deck with wine, sipping wine with friends, and scuba-diving with wine (just kidding,.. THAT would be a waste of wine!).

Getting creative with food and wine pairings and cooking for family and friends is my passion.

About Rick Blythe

Visit my LinkTree

Rick is, of course, married to Ada above (since 1991). Growing up in a family that appreciated good wine, I developed a love for it at a young age, LOL. As I got older, (you are too!) I began exploring different varieties and regions, and my fascination with wine only grew. I love learning about the history and culture behind each bottle, as well as the unique characteristics that make each wine special.

I enjoy attending wine tastings and trying new recipes to pair with different wines.
