If you want sweet, you need to go with either a late harvest or an ice wine because pretty much everything else is considered dry. Look for wines that have Vidal or Riesling on the label as they tend to be the ones that are made into late harvest wines and Icewines.
If you just want a regular table wine, than White Zinfandel will do the trick in a pinch but I don't recommend it because there are much better tasting wines out there.

I recommend a Johannisberg Riesling. They can come from Germany or the US. I think that the rest of these answers are fine for the wine aficionado but you just want something that doesn't make you kack when you swallow. Slightly less sweet (or as we in the biz say, less fruity) are wines made from the Chenin Blanc grape. Generally winemakers make these on the "off-dry" side of the dryness spectrum. Vouvray (from France) is a great sipping wine. Don't pay more than $15-$20 for a bottle of these wines. Cheers!!
The previous suggestions of a dessert wine would make for a REALLY SWEET wine (and most of them are costly).

If you mean sweet as in residual sugars, you're looking for "late harvest" wines and dessert wines. You might also try some sweet German rieslings. Look for the word "auslese" on the bottle.
If you find those are TOO sweet and what you're really looking for is more "fruity" then try German rieslings that say "spatlese" on the bottle or something like Bloom/Petal riesling.
Also, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminers might be up your alley. Try Fetzer Valley Oaks for all three to see what sort of wine appeals to you.
Try Viogniers... Becker from Texas is one of the best...
If you want red, try a Lambrusco or Sangiovese (like Santa Cristina)

Try Fetzer's Riesling or Gewurztraminer or look for wines labeled "Late Harvest" which indicates a high level of sugar content at harvest time. Give Sutter Home's Moscato a try.

It depends on what you call "sweet". If it is really a true sweet wine that you are after then look at the dessert wines in your local liquor store and try a few and decide for yourself.

Try some Madeira, Mosel, white Burgundy, or anything that calls itself a dessert wine. Cream sherry is also quite good.

The classic "Dessert" wine or sweetest wine of all is from the Sauterne grape and the best Sauterne is made by Chateau D'Yquem. It is not cheap!
