Hi Everyone - I am really, really new at this and would like a suggestion from those of you have been tasting for awhile as to which wines I should start out testing?  I know that I do not like a really dry red wine, and think that I would like to start off with white wines....something light, palatable and doesn't make my tongue feel like it has a fuzzy blanket on it after I have a glass!  Thank you so much in advance for your help and suggestions. Happy New Year to you all.

Try Australian Shiraz for red wine and perhaps some Californian chardonnay for white wines. If you have the opportunity to go to cellar doors then you can try through their entire line up or contact your local retailers as they generally have tastings of new releases so it can be a good way to TRY before you buy.

I also can say that the Australian Shiraz is a great wine. It has a very good taste that I can't explain.

Alot of the Australian Shiraz bottles that I have tried (about 3-4 different ones) have very prominent overtones of Blackberries & Pepper.  It may seem like a strange combination, but I have never been disappointed by it.  Very mellow, but also a bit of pop. Very long finish.  Australian Shiraz is definitely one of my favorites.  Another variety I strongly recommend is a Spanish Tempranillo.  EXCELLENT.

That is the best piece of suggestion.

The best thing is try a wide range of wines, taste everything and you'll start to fin dout what you like, but the more you taste you'll find your tastes change so don't buy large amounts of any one.

The easiest and cheapest way to taste many wines is to join a tasting group. Ask at your local fine wine store. They may organise tastings and know about local tasting clubs.

Wine is supposed to be enjoyable, so don't bash yourself. There is nothing you 'must' taste -- certainly not at the beginning.

One good wine that I would always like to try is Australian Shiraz. Even a person who has never had a wine would love the Australian Shiraz!
