Brand Spankin' New

[Dawgman]

I am brand new to both the joys of drinking wine and to this discussion board. Please be gentle with me. I have also noticed that there are not too many folks posting from the deep south...I wonder why?
My question - being "brand spankin' new" is whether or not my approach to discovering the enjoymnet of wine is a good one. I have been purchasing different types of wine and tasting them. So far so good but is it better to try the same type of wine from different makers first or try different types of wines, as I am doing now? My thinking is that I need to find out what I like and then move on to the specific vintages, etc of that type of wine. All I know is that I am having a good time! I'm going to try Pinot Noir tonight for the first time - we'll see how I like it!
