Beginning Wine Drinker

I have recently begun developing a taste for wine but I do not know anything about it. Have tasted several kinds but would like to become more educated in an easy way! Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do know I tend to prefer the sweeter/fruitier wines but unless I do a taste test I don't know what they are. Shiraz,cabernet,riesling etc I need to know the difference.Thank you for any help you might be able to give a beginner! Nancy
