best order to taste varieties of wines

[Brom]

With the sort of tasting schedule you propose, I can't see any need for any sort of "progression" through varietals - just move from one to another.

"i am thinking that the easiest or most palatable to start with are ...Beaujolais and Pinot Noir"

Oddly enough I disagree with you in both ways here. One is just personal - I don't care for Gamay based (like Beaujolais) wines particularly, I don't find them all that "palatable". on the other hand I do agree that this is one of the 'easier' wines to taste having a very singular and distinctive taste in almost all examples.

Contrariwise, I find Pinot Noir to be a 'difficult' wine for tasting, hard to find good examples that showcase the characteristics of the grape, particularly at your price point.

Then only two more months of reds? barely enough to get in the remaining 'noble' grapes. Plainly you can't do wine tasting as a novice and not include Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a major grape on four continents. After that it's anybody's guess: Malbec is hot in the market, Merlot has never really gone away (altho' "Sideways" dulled its luster), Zinfandel is the American natural, Syrah does the same for Oz...
