Also, Wine for Dummies is a great book for learning to evaluate wine. The biggest thing is tasting, tasting, tasting. I like tasting wine with other people, because they'll often be able to identify aromas and flavors that I don't have the words for. My best tasting notes come from times when I was discussing the wine with other people who were drinking it.
