Total wine drinking newbie....

Based on the wines you like, you are taking to soft, uncomplicated wines, which is not uncommon when you begin wine drinking. IK gives some good suggestions for easing into higher quality versions of the wines you seem to like.

One of the best ways to explore wine is to go to wine tastings--free or otherwise; keep notes. Another really good way is to take suggestions for wines that you can have with food. When you combine a wine with food it changes the way you perceive the wine on its own.
