another new wine lover, looking for more to love

[Wine-O]

While I am not new to drinking wine I am new to finally appreciating it. Like a fine wine I'm maturing with age! okay bad joke. Anyway, I really would like to be able to know more about wines and at least be able to walk into a wine store and know a thing or two when picking one out rather then just knowing if I'm looking for a red, white, or pink. I've started reading "Wine for Dummies" and it's packed with information and I'm only on Chapter 3! I can see I have barely begun to scratch the surface. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and I'm looking for someone to maybe point me in the right direction into become the "wine snob" my friends claim I want to be! :-)
