You would probably like a late harvest Reisling.
If you want really sweet, a Sauternes.

Not all wines taste the same and not all whites taste the same. That's what makes wine tasting so fun. Some chardonnays have a buttery texture, some have a crisp apple taste. If your'e looking for sweet, then you should try a white zinfandel (its pink and Beringer White Zin is a top seller in this category.) or the Franzia (boxed wine) "Crisp White" is an extremely sweet white wine. It pretty much tastes like syrupy juice. If you want to try a different varietal, Riesling is a sweeter white wine. Turning Leaf is ok, but its probably better used for cooking than drinking.

Well that is a matter of taste....and it would depend on the food that you are consuming(if any!)....and take into consideration that most of these folks are going to not think of desert and "Ice" wines....
The most expensive whites are Sauternes ...they are a WONDERFUL.....the most famous and the best is Château d'Yquem.....it is out of most peoples price range....
If just drinking wine as a stand alone, here are my choices...
Pinot Grigio(italian...not american)
Chablis(this is the French version of our Horrible american Chardonay)
Gewurtztaminer(there are several very nice ones from Washington state that will not break the pocket book.....this wine goes Exellent with Thai food!)
Sauvignon Blanc(many wonderful Washington and Califorian ones.....also there are many nice ones from New Zealand...but they can be a carp shoot!)
The key to wine is taste many and taste often!....many local wine shops have free tasstings on the weekends...go and try...that is how you develop a palette...and how you find one that is the best to YOU!

If you are asking this question, obviously you haven't drank much wine before. So I would suggest starting off by drinking a mid priced pinot grigio because your tastebuds are probably not keen enough to detect the difference between high quality and mid quality wine.

Viognier. Full-flavoured fruit forward. Silky mouth feel. YUMMY!
Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier.

Casillero del Diablo (Translation - cellar of the devil) Is a range of wines produced by Concha y Toro. And it is a Chilean product not Spanish. And most definitely not sweet.

fi you like the dry wines go with a pinot grigio...mid priced liek the guy below said, a mezza corona is aways recommended. if u prefer the sweet ones, a sauterne is good for dessert but for a meal a vouvyray is always great.

Sutter Home makes a Chenin Blanc that may fit the bill for you... Fetzer makes a killer Gurwertztraminer and some Sauvignon Blancs are lighter bodies. Also, plain old white zinfadel is a good, safe choice.

Some Gewurtztraminers and Reislings (look for Auslese on the bottle) are sweet. Most people like Chardonnays, but they are not usually known for being sweet.
