Cori Solomon, an award-winning freelance writer/photographer based in Los Angeles, California, focuses on travel, art, food, wine, and pets. She often highlights the story behind the restaurant, chef, winery, winemaker, or artist.

Her background in real estate and art both play a role in her writing, whether it is the architectural splendor of a building, a historical-artistic rendering, or the artistry of a winemaker or chef.

Since Cori often travels with her dogs, Salukis, she has a keen eye for pet-friendly stories.

Her blog, The Written Palette, features eclectic articles about her experiences traveling, dining, discovering new wines, wineries, wine regions, and topics including art and pets.

Wine is central to Cori, who founded the 50-member LA Wine Writers. Cori earned her WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits, the NASA American Wine Specialist Certification, and a NASA Spanish Wine Specialist Certification.

Cori also contributes to Big Blend Magazine, which focuses on Lifestyle and travel; FWT Magazine, spotlighting food, wine, and Travel; Rovology, sharing the best a city has to offer; SLO Visitors Guide, featuring emphasizing everything in San Luis Obispo County; TravelWorld International, highlighting travel; and Wander with Wonder, where many of my European articles are featured.

Cori also knows how to engage radio audiences and has been featured in Big Blend Magazine, which also has a radio show and the SoCal Restaurant Show.
