never had wine; please help

Hello New2this.
I agree with all the comments so far except for the suggested Taittinger Brut Champagne (sorry Hotwine). I tnink Brut will be too dry for your inexperienced wine palate. Personally I would go for Laurent Perrier DEMI SEC, this is an excellent Champagne with a touch of sweetness about it. I'm pretty sure it's available over there. If it is not, ask for a good FRENCH Champagne that is DEMI SEC (it will say so on the label).
As for Gewurtztraminer, if you decide on that, do get one from Alsace.
Have a great evening, but bear in mind that too much wine can take the edge off the romance. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] T.
