  Any white zinfindel is a good sweet wine.

  Reisling
  Gwertzermeiner (spelling?)
  Port (though you wouldn’t want to drink Port with a meal)

  White wines tend to be sweet, reds not so.

  Best advise I can give you is what I was told at a wine tasting course I took. A good wine does not have to be expensive.

  Try a German Riesling for white or a French Beaujolais for red.

  In order of sweetest to driest:

  Ice Wine - generally a dessert wine, served very cold
  Muscat or Muscato - also a very sweet white wine
  Vognier
  Sancerre
  Gewurtztraminer
  Reisling
  White Zinfandel
  Pinot Grigio
  Sauvignon Blanc
  Chardonnay

  PG, Sauv Blanc and Chard tend to be dry. If you like Sweet, a Johannesberg Reisling will be drier than a plain Reisling.

  Schmitt Sohne Riesling is pretty good, and inexpensive. It comes in a blue bottle with a picture of a dwarf in lederhosen on the label (don’t ask me why!)

  It sells for under $10

  All of the Oliver wines are about 6 bucks and have flavors and if you sweet and fruit you will like any of those.
  If you are looking for a red nice one a good cabernet is a sweeter
  Chardonnay and merlot are your dry and a plain Shiraz.
  Reunite makes some not to spendy and in large bottles. Stay away from merlot and dark reds they are dry. Your chianti is dry but great with italian food.
  You probably would like any Zinfandel.
