Wine Century Clubbers (Achieved and Aspiring)

This is a group for those of us who wish to broaden the scope of our wine discovery by gaining admission into the Wine Century Club. This group is a "support group" for those wine adventurers who have tasted/wish to taste 100+ wine varietals.

How do I really get started in wine?

I've only had maybe a dozen bottles of respectable wine in my life. I don't feel like I'm very good at picking out aromas or flavors in wine and I understand that that'll take some practice. But I'd like to start down that road and I'm looking for a…
