What do I look for?

Neo, welcome to the board. Suggest you return to your liquor store and ask for a Beaujolais. Duboeuf bottles a bunch of different ones (all French), and they're fruity, but not sweet. You shouldn't have to pay more than 10 bucks per bottle. It's a nice wine to learn with. After you've tried a few of those, we'll recommend some others.
