My best advice to someone who really doesn't know wine is to find the store with someone who knows something about it. Not everyone who works there does. I found an assistant manager at a local shop that helped me pick out different selections that I normally would not buy over the course of a year. I've also been to a few wine tastings and take the opportunities to test the wines when that is being offered at the store. I bought the Cakebread, because Andy sat next to a rep on a business trip and she really talked it up. We bought the first bottle out of curiosity, the others because we liked them. We had never heard of them otherwise.
