I'm totally new

Do something fun and inexpensive like a bottle of Prosecco (Italian sparkling)with strawberries and chocolate. The alcohol is low, has a nice fizz and sweetness and you're not jumping in the deep end of wine celebrating an important event where you could easily be disappointed. After which take Pinotenvy's suggestion and go to a store's tasting when there's no pressure of a birthday celebration.
