Hey, I never stopped talking about wine! I also discussed parlaying a love of wine into a sorority alumnae chapter event.

Idk wth is going on up there....

But I noticed the OP was in Dallas so there is a place in Irving that sells the only Red I've ever loved. I like sweet wines and there is a brand called Villa M (it is sparkling) and I can only find it at Las Colinas Beverages on MacArthur. They also make a Moscato but it's too sweet even for me. It's about $20. And if you don't get everything you need there, there's a Flagship Tom Thumb next door with an excellent selection!

If you appreciate a Malbec, try La Linda, affordable and very good!

Well, its official. As much as I like wine I'm allergic to reds except malbec for some reason it doesn't give me a headache. One ounce is all my body can handle before I get a migrane and break out..

Are you sure it's not just an allergy to sulfites or tannins? Try a red that is lower in sulfites and/or tannins and you might solve the problem. Lots of people have that allergy.

It is the sulfites. The only thing I can drink more than an ounce of is malbecs. Im having a hard time with cabs and blends.

I find if I take an antihistamine before/after drinking red wine, I don't get as many headaches. Sulfites get to a lot of people...that's what makes some people's cheeks and noses turn red when they drink red wine.

Who needs a Dr. when you have google...right? lol

I get chronic migranes anyway, every morning I eat a spoon full of minced garlic and it keeps the migranes at bay because my body is so immune to any sort of hearache reliever. Its strange that it just happened all of a sudden.

I get migraines, too. The only thing that works for me is sumatriptan.
