go to trader joe's and talk to one of the employees there.
their wines are good and usually pretty cheap. and the people working there are always nice and helpful (at least the TJs around my area).
don't believe the hype in the price. good wines can be had for cheap.
that said...i'm still a beer man myself.

I'll have to try some different ports. I didn't really care for it, too strong for my taste. But it could have been that designation for all i know. But wine is good, just don't become a wine snob, those people annoy me. Don't tell me you can taste a hint of cockroach antennae and an aroma of toenail clippings, I don't care... just fucking drink it.... speaking of drinking, think I'll open a bottle

Personally, I love wine, but I don't drink it anymore. I'm allergic to the sulfites :(
Like someone mentioned earlier, Pinot Noir is good stuff.

Went to Portugal last year and got hooked on white port mmmmm drunk with an ice cube in the glass its cleaner and not as heavy a a red but with a subtle scented taste. Perfect with some dark chilli chocolate after dinner.
Good luck on your quest on learing about wine, one of the best books I have read is Matt Skinners Thirsty work.

He taught Jamie Oliver most of what he knows about wine and food and wine pairing. I have been to a tasting with him and hes great very unpretentious and speaks in an everyday language, the more you try and the more you learn the deeper you will get hooked... have fun :D

I'm not a fan of White wine generally, with the exception of desert wines like Monbazillac and Muscat.
Rioja, is a good starting point.
I have always liked it and it made me want to know more about other red wines that weren't too dry. I now drink Merlot and Bordeaux quite often but a curent favorite is Perchament.
