I'd also suggest this as a pretty good, pretty broad introduction to what wine is supposed to/can be. Zero pretension, while addressing how to compare and contrast wines styles (for similar grapes, regions, etc).
I linked to the 2013 version, but there's one that's a year newer for a few dollars more.
But a wine guide is like having an interpretion of Joyce's Ulysses; it's one thing for someone else to explain the sense they've made of something that has a subjective quality, its another completely for you to gain the same feeling of understanding.
Everyone will tell you that it's essential to try a lot of wine, and they're not wrong. But I'll add my $.02 on how to expedite the process.
read zraly or, redditors claim, macneil, then anything from jancis robinson. drink what the book tells you to drink.
Can't tell what level you're at, but if you want a great 101 book that I recommend to everyone, it's Kevn Zraly's Complete Wine Course. It's amaaaazing.
