Here's a list of things you can pick and choose from to get more comfortable with wine.
No surprises here, when it comes to wine, Californians love themselves.
We looked at the drinking habits of each State: here's what we found...
"pretty good wine. It would add to a summer night."
"Sweet and refreshing"
"favorite wine ever"
"A sweet treat to end your evening."
"Good hardy sweet red. Very fruity smooth. A light red with deep flavor. Serve cold."
"Wife favorito!!!!!"
"Yum!"
"Slightly acid, deep red fruits, coffee notes, full bodied"
"If you like sweet, you'll love this (not overly sweet). If not, still not a bad choice for social events or parties...especially if you don't know everyone's personal taste."
"Too sweet for my tastes overall but, for a dessert wine on a non-special occasion, it would be ok. Fruitiness was just a bit much."
"Tastes like sweetened apple cider. Best when well-chilled. 11.02.2013"
"10.5% alc. by vol. Nose: deeply sweet like honeyed strawberry and mango. Taste: very sweet and fruity with a playful spice about it, sorta like sangria. Has a mellow finish, but leaves the tongue tingly."
"Very sweet and fruity!"
"Delicious!"
"Great, love the grapefruit notes. Could be dangerous! ;)"
"Sweet"
"Light and sweet! Yum!!"
"excellent ries!!! golden apples & juicy pears with a fantastic honey taste."
"Sweet, bubbly, airy, carbonated like a wine cooler."
"delicate with bursting aromas if roses. white peaches, honeysuckle"
"Notes Of coffee and chocolate, even sweet, nice to the palate."
"delicious"
"A subdued nose with berries and floral hints. Ruby with garnet hues, a bit unconcentrated, a bit tart, acidic, few tannins, a bit feeble, and a spicy medium finish. The 10% mazuelo might decrease its concentration and quality."
"like a punnet of super ripe strawberries and roses. beautiful fresh and expressive. besides strawberries, also melon and raspberry. long finish"
"This is just spectacular wine!! You'd never guess it's 100% Tempranillo. It's blackberry compote with emerging spice and tobacco leaf, woodsmoke and cherry. This wine possesses all the finer qualities I'd say are my favorite. It's bold, huge, and surely would go with anything. Clothing optional. Have fun!"
"Fantastic! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Not because Mondavi puts out bad wine, which they don't, but this is not exactly the wine you associate with high-end dessert wines or flavor experiences. I typically avoid listing specific flavors, but to me it was like drinking pear nectar with a touch of grapefruit (in a good way). She picked up a lot of orange. The citrus flavors were not accompanied by the typical acidic citric flavors, though, and that is why I enjoyed it so much. All for $7.50."
"Excellent red."
"Cherry vanilla spice! Some asparagus nose. Yum yum yum!"
"So delicious! Perfect for a chocolaty dessert."
"had this in Punta Cana, DR"
"Not a screw cap yet no corkscrew needed to open the bottle. Clever. And very yummy wine btw"
"Rich fruit. Jammy. Delicious."
"so light and crisp"
"Sweet with tastes of honey. Slightly dryer finish. Bubbly and delicious. One of my favorites."
"Buttery buttery popcorn. A lot of stuff going on beyond that like warm spice and mineral. But Not my style of chardonnay at all."
"Yet another nice Chardonnay at a nice price. It's not the most complex Chardonnay out there, but it certainly outperforms its $13 price tag. This can be drunk young for its fresh fruit and minerality, or lay it down for a year or two and allow it to build a bit more complexity. Either way you can't go wrong with this wine for $13. It's rather subtle at this stage which makes it a good option for lighter meals. Very nice."
"Sweet nose, light tannins, easy to drink blend with no complexity"
"Deep Aromas & Black Cherry,Raspberry , Jammy Fruit Flavours. Recommend trying."
"very smooth, earthy, fruitful, (12.5% alcohol) renders low for a wine (Malbec). Malbec from France have been some of the best Malbecs I've ever had"
"Tamar got promoted. This is the celebration. Smart , focused and lively with a cherry tobacco nose that transitions into a strewed strawberry palette. Finish is earth and rhubarb and long. Amazing."
"Amazing Shiraz! MollyDooker excels again! Beautiful inky ruby red all the way to the rim. Plum, raspberry, licorice and chocolate with a hint of black pepper. Powerful, fat and chewy with very low acidity and creamy tannins. Very long herb finish with a slight bitter end. Outstanding Shiraz, great wine overall."
"7 on the scale at www.winewalkabout.net"
"Bright red color. Floral aromas and flavors. Definitely something different. Medium body and balanced tannins. Long floral finish. A must buy!"
"The patriarch of the house of Moët et Chandon. I love the slightly nutty flavour to this perfectly balanced Champagne. It is without question one of the very best Champagnes out there. No home should be without this fine wine!"
"Very dry and tannic, but settled down after decanting. Lots o lush, dark fruit and spice. Very good!"
"Full body,earthy, smokey and spicy. Lots of "oomph" to this one. Seriously, it's like the spice rack kicked you in the mouth! But in a good way. Love spicy Zins."
"classic extra woody butterfly oak laden chardonnay for chard lovers. far niente on a budget lol"
"what an amazing wine ! Silky, elegant, seducing, bold and soft, plums, Berries, cedar.... My favorite cab ( tonight)"
"So dark for a Pinot! Big nose of chocolate, crushed wild-flowers and earth. Velvet mouthfeel with semi sweet chocolate, berries, and creme d'menthe. Great wine for the price!"
"My first bottle Disappointing. The second lived up to the name - excellent."
"Smooth and dry with a fruity, almost raspberry finish. Good wine to pair with heavy meat dishes."
"a typical higher end red blend... for price I've had better. Bordeaux style. cab, merlot, cab franc, malbec and petite verdot blend. it's a good btl to try w spuce, oak, cedar and berries"
"powerful"
"Blackberries to start, Chocolate to finish. Need I say more?"
"One of my favorite wines. Incredibly complex nose. One of those wines that makes you stop, have a sigh of relief, and fully indulge."

"35% Pinot noir. 25% merlot. 20% Syrah. 10% carmenere and 10% cab Sauvigon. Big. Full body. Nice blend. Herbal. Earthy. Oregano??? mint on the nose. Barnyard. Opened up after 45 minutes. Big, huge wine."
"Very smooth yet complex red that is balanced dark fruit on the palate with a smooth dry finish."
"Fruity and robust"
"Frais et gourmand. Belle acidité et pureté du fruit. Mon appréciation sur fidelesdebacchus.com"
"It's a solid wine, on the nose dark fruits and spices. On the palate, light tannins, and a comfy blend of a big hit and smoothy finish. Reasonably priced."
"Fruity start, buttery finish. great!"
"Earthy, smooth, hints of cherry, vanilla, berry. Very full. Excellent!"
"Polyvalent et savoureux. Il dégage des arômes de prune, de mures et de torréfaction. Mon appréciation sur fidelesdebacchus.com"
"This was a gift for shoveling my neighbors driveway, and what are you gift it was! Knows of dried fruits with hints of dark and red fruits. They bit of young tobacco as well. Pop and poor was great! Nice, velvety mouth feel, with simple tannins. Lots of dark fruits follow on the mid palate to a medium to long finish. Be warned however, drank with a savory meal (spicy turkey wings and avocado salad) and the wine was overpowered. This is a good wine to drink by itself or with a meal, but be selective."
"You've got to try this, history & tradition in a bottle. If you don't believe me ask señor Miguel Jimenez ;). Smokey, oak, leather & heavy fruit."
