Dear Grape Lady,

I’m allergic to blueberries. Like anaphylactic shock. I want to like wine, but I’ve heard people talk about how some wines taste like blueberries and I’m terrified to try since I won’t know which wines have blueberries, since the wines don’t have an ingredient label. Is there any way to know?
