Can someone help me learn basics of A few different wines?

I'm entering for a server and need for a better understanding of some basic wines, but hardly grounds. If you know a site that is simple Info I appreciate wine. An example would be like Merlot: Roblizo, buttery. Goes with the chicken, or something similar (I know its bad) The key is that I want to know Merlot Chardanay Zinfidel Pinot Grigio Cabernet-Sauvignon Pinot black Sauvignon Blanc
Try Wine Spectator or Food and Wine. They all have a web-site to go with their magazines.
as a basic guide: white with light foods, fish and vegetarian and reds with meat .
but then you can throw this rule out and drink what you really like!
I divided your list
reds:
Merlot
Cabernet
Pinot Noir
Zinfandel
whites:
Chardonnay
Pinot Grigio
Sauvignon Blanc
check links below for good basic guides
merlot is great with steak. chardonnay is mainly for fish pinot grigio is good for pasta fish or crab and lobster. cabernet would be good with lamb as well as the noir and the blanc would be fish also
