Also, I am debating on buying several bottles from empire wine online. Since I'm so new, I thought I would start buying the under $20 bottles that are rated 90+. Think thats a good starting point?

You can try starting with a country or region. Read up on the region, try the wines famous from the region. Take note of the grapes used and apply everything you learned to the next region. France is where I'd start, with Italy 2nd.
