No offense intended, but this is just wrong advice. How can you say stay away from blended wines? Blended wines are far more complex and probably make up a majority of the great wine in the world. Certainly a newby in wine should become familiar with all of the main varietals and get an idea of what they like, but blended wines are part of every wine collection and restaurant selection in the world and are intentionally produced by the best vineyards.
