Wine tasting...

[flyingdutchman]

Hello wine board!
I'm planning on organizing a wine-taste-evening for a group of friends, most of them don't have a lot of experience with wines.

My question is what would be a nice way to introduce them to the "world of wines"... Should I try same grapes from different wine regions or better to serve different grapes from one region? And does anyone have any idea's on a interesting wine from a not so obvious wine producing country, Marocco or Lebanon maybe?? I have a meeting coming up for work, for which we are expected to bring an "original" bottle of wine...

Any idea's to help me out would be great!! Thanks in advance! FD
