White zin & similar

[Innkeeper]

One thing that won't cost you anything is to peruse this novice thread. It goes back decades. There is a wealth of information and a lot of it is from folks just like you. If you are in a buying mood, for reds in addition to Pinot Noir your might also look at Beaujolais. For whites you might look for the afore mentioned Riesling and Muscat. Just be sure for now that it doesn't say "dry" on the label of those whites.
