Even being a fairly regular wine-drinker, I still only know the European regions and their particularities, not the actual grapes.

They are full body and fruity. Much easier to go down than a merlot, which is actually quiet strong and are much better in a blend. As for pairing with food… dark usu. with strong flavours, and white usually with light flavours. Avoid having wines that compete with the food- ie a sweet wine with something that has a sweet sauce. Asking you server, or go to a store that sells almost exclusively wine and asking some one there what to get for what meal is a good idea till you learn what you like/ don't like. Don't go to wikipedia for this info. bletch. On another note… you can get into good beers and that can be equally as complex.

as an aside, the "pairs with" debate is heating up. it's not so frowned upon to order traditionally "poorly paired" wines/foods. if you like a particular wine, then order it! that being said, i'm not sure i would drink a cab sauv with a light fish or something else that totally clashes, but hey, whatever makes you happy. :)
