Suggestions for a newcomer

[Logaire]

I am a newcomer to the board and wines in general so I figured I'd ask for some advice. My fiancee is coming out to see me for the 4th of July weekend (in Maryland) and I thought I'd get a bottle of wine or 2 for the occasion, but since we both have had little experience with wine I don't know where to start. Since we are both new to the field I don't think we'd appreciate the quality of a $100 bottle but it is a special time so I'm not limited to the cheapest kinds either. If it helps I know she likes cherry flavored drinks.
