Wine Tasting help

I'm throwing a casual wine tasting for a group of my friends because we've all expressed an interest in wine and I figured I'd do something about it. I do annual Scotch tastings which is easy enough for me because I love Scotch. Wine, however, I'm totally lost.

So, here's the deal. It'll be 12 people. I'll be pairing cheeses, chocolate, and nuts. With 12 people, that's about 2 ounces of wine per person per bottle. I'm thinking around 10 bottles for the 12 of us.

I'd like to try different types of wine. I'm thinking perhaps do 5 different types of grape and 2 different regions for each grape. Looking to spend around $15 per bottle but I can go up to $20 or just above if you think its worth it.

SO, my question. What 5 types of wine? And if you had to pick the perfect <insert grape here> wine, what would it be?

Should I do 5 types from 2 regions or just do 10 different types all together?
