Hey everyone i am new to wine but have always had an interest in it. I am trying to start a collection early, now i am a poor college student so i cant blow tons on wine but i can spend money on a monthly basis to improve my collection. I just bought a double climate controlled wine cellar that holds only 30 bottles but that should be enough space for right now. I would like to stock my cellar with roughly, 10 dailies, 10 weeklies, 5 collectible and 5 ultra-collectible. So i am just seeking help from anyone that knows their stuff, i live in central pa and our wine stores really dont offer much. Thanks.

Well thats the thing i know i like robert mondavi cabernet but thats the only wine i have had recently. I have had many others in passing but since i am now 21 i would like to officially get into wine collecting. All i know is i really like wine, so im asking where do i start. Do i start by buying a box from a vinyard or do i buy an assortment to get to know what i will enjoy and like?

That sounds like a plan.  Go and purchase a bottle here and a bottle there of different wines to sample..........definitely an easy way to identify what you might enjoy.  

IS there somewhere i can go to learn about all the different types of wines? Like i said the cellar only holds 30 so i think what i will do is create almost like a checklist and try to stock it with different wines, then i will try a bottle a week, pairing it with many different foods that are recommended. This way i will be able to narrow it down to the wines i like.

Your local wine stores will have tastings which is a good way to try lots of different wines. Here there are Adult Education wine courses at the colleges where you can take a class and try LOTS of wines. The one I took went through six different wine regions with 8 or so wines tasted each class. That course totally got me interested in wine enough to travel to wine regions in Europe. I had already been to the California areas, another way to taste lots of wines.

Also you can check out tasting notes to see if it is a wine you are interested in.
