When you go to your liquor dealer, they usually put the best ones on the "top shelf", and as the price progresses, the lower shelves usually have the least quality. There are a lot of good entries lately, but some of these guys on here really get into it more than me. They'll be able to get you going in the right direction.
EDIT: Some dealers, like mine, will let you try a small bit before you commit to an expensive bottle you're considering.
