how do I find what I like

[Chirripo]

I am a novice wine shopper and can never seem to pick out a wine that I truly enjoy. I am very picky and know what I like but I don't know how to describe it (a serious problem). I have read all about wine terminology but had no luck matching the two. First off I enjoy reds the most. I once had a Chilean red zin. that was beatiful, but I havn't found many Cali. in my under 20 price range that do the trick. The best way to describe what I like is soft, flavorful, not acidic, not too fruity, a little dry but more of a grape taste. Does this make any sense. ANY SUGGESTIONS. Also I live in the Miami area, any suggestions as to where to find my wine.

Thanks for your time.
