Start with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon for playing with reds. Go on from there.
I would recommend you purchase Andrea Immers Book, great wine made simple. You will learn more then you ever thought and you and your spouse will have fun learning.
Click on the book it will get you to the ordering site.
To answer your red wine question. Many many red wines are server at room temperature. However, since you are paying you can enjoy it anyway you would like it.
But the nose and aromatics of most red wines show better at 57 F to 75 F than any other temperature range.
