categorize it first. do you like white or red?
then go taste a bunch and find out which type you like? eg, merlot, chardonnay, chenin blanc, shiraz, cabronet sauvignon, pinot, reisling.. some are blends too.
once uve picked a few types you like, start exploring different estates/vineyards that make them. dont let the region fool you, its all taste. some ppl will push for say french/aussie/southafrica/italy/greece/bc/us/niagra region/
if you are determined to try, say a french wine though, a good wine, easy on the pallette, for beginners is "Fat Bastard".
good luck, and just keep trying different wines, always a good excuse to open up a different bottle w/ friends at dinner.
my personal preference is i tend to lean towards the white wines as i dont like tanine too much.
