It's legal to make beer and wine for personal consumption in every state, but running a still is controlled as pointed out by cynthetiq. If distilling spirits is legal in your area, then your main issue is tempurature control. Alcohol boils at a very distinct temp. Some bad things boil at a slightly lower temp, which may not be present in your wine, so it might not be an issue. Typically, when distilling from mash, you need to heat the mash to about a half a degree below the boiling point of alcohol, collect and dispose of the evaporation, then heat to just over the boiling point of alcohol to go to production.
I can't be more specific about the boiling point of alcohol, since it greatly depends on your local elevation.
