You can come up with all kinds of themes for tastings. One might be wines from 2001 vintage (good year in Germany, California, etc.) or 1999 if you can still find them locally. Another might be wines from wineries starting with the letter S (Sterling, Simi, Silverado, Sebastiani, St. Supery, Schloss Schonborn, St. Michelle, etc.
However, if most of the members are relatively new to wines, they probably will learn more from sticking to a varietal or to a region or country (Spanish wines, Portuguese wines, Loire wines, Rhone wines, Piedmontese (Italy) wines, Alsacian (Alsace, France) wines, etc. You also might do Oregon wines and try to include Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc.
