Like you I love red wine, in fact, that's the only wine I can drink. I've not seen either one of these wines before, but I will look for them the next time I'm shopping.<br /><br />They both sound great, but I'm especially drawn to the Chloe Merlot. Sounds delicious and I love the bottle. Oh yeah, and the website is stunning!<br /><br />Mt favorite two favorite brands are Apothic and Menage e Trois. Two brands that YOU turned me on to several years ago.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing these recommendations, Ron.

I think it may be because of the sugar content. I actually didn't drink wine at all for many years because I thought that perhaps wine was just not for me. However, after trying some red wine years later, I found that I enjoyed it and had no negative reaction.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by!

In fact, I actually stopped drinking wine for YEARS because white wine started to turn me off with its sweetness. However many years later, I decided to try red and feel in love with wine all over again!<br /><br />I love cabs and pinot noir too! I've not tried a malbec but many people say they really like it, so I'm going to have to try it one day.<br /><br />Isn't Menage a Trois the best wine?!?! I've tried MANY from that brand and have enjoyed them all.

I think it was the sugar in white wine because I have absolutely no negative reaction to red wine.<br /><br />I've also heard from many people that, like you, they had to stop drinking wine altogether because it upset their system.<br /><br />".. tea is just not the same as a good red!"<br /><br />You said it.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, dear friend.
