What state do you think of when you think of a blueberry?

It would seem that now you're supposed to think of New Jersey, which has just declared that the blueberry is the official state fruit.

Yeah, me neither. Maine and Michigan come to mind first, in my estimation.

On the other hand, I have had a blueberry-flavored wine from New Jersey, which is not something I can say about Maine and Michigan wines. A blueberry-flavored sparkling generic white wine, as I recall. And the folks in the tasting room said that it was wonderful for making pancakes: use this wine in the batter and you didn't really need syrup. MMMmmm: New Jersey wine - it's what's for breakfast.
