Hello

I'm new to drinking wine. Does anyone have a link to a good site that explains what most wines are generally supposed to taste like. Or why they are different, for example what make a merlot different from a zinfidel.

The wines I like are mostly whites like Reslings and Piesporters.
I would like more information on how I may be able to find wines that are close to theses tatse and then expand from there.
I dont really like red wines for just drinking but I would like to maybe be able to pick one out for dinner or to take as a gift to a friends house.

Thanks for you help in advance.
