I have to disagree with you there Dragon. Since the OP is not very well versed in the wine realm it might be money not-so-well spent if he does not have an experienced wine palate. Just my two cents though.

I agree. It takes drinking a certain number of bottles to really develop your sensibilities. Drinking good, inexpensive wine, and moving up, is a great way to start IMO. If you run into something you don't like, move up the price ladder to decide if you just got a bad example vs. just don't like the style/varietal.

It's funny because for the past three years I have been drinking a lot of wine (inexpensive and expensive) for the sake of appreciation and acquiring a taste. I think I am finally starting to develop a decent palate.

Pls tell me how plebian my tastes are. Thanks!
I've done the same thing. Depending on what else is going on, fine Beaujolais is a good backstop for T-day. (Try also Morgon or Julienas.)
