I would recommend a nice black muscat like the Quady Elysium Black Muscat. It's very soft, sweet and wonderful in taste that is great with chocolate covered strawberries or a double layered chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce.
The Quady Elysium Black Muscat is inexpensive and makes a GREAT DESSERT wine for any discerned taster.

Port wine is sweet, not dry. A very good dessert wine. My husband is an expert on wine and he says the Portuguese Ports are excellent. Also, we have had Ice wines and they are very good too. Both of these wines are expensive but, worth it. I'm not much of a wine drinker (not a drinker at all) but, I do like a nice sweet Portuguese Port. I prefer that even to the Ice Wines. There are also some very good sweet Sherrys.

You would probably enjoy Ice Wine (mostly produced in New York and Canada and widely available), or a Muscat. Others would be a late-harvest Riesling, a Sauternes, or a Monbazillac.
Many of these wines are moderately expensive ($20 and up); therefore, they are sold in smaller bottles, and they're intended to be served in smaller quantities, sipped and savored. I'd get help at a good liquor store or wine shop to make the best decision.

A spumante would go well with choc covered strawberries...this is a sweet sparkling wine. A brand commonly available in the US is Ballatore and its around $10 a bottle.

Port wine is DRY
Try "Shalom"(it is also certified Kosher) or "Frankenmuth May Wine" by St. Julian's winery in Michigan
Another good sweet wine is Kikoman's "Fuki Plum" or "Plum wine"
These are very sweet and delicious wines. Both are under $10 a bottle.

Like you I'm not a wine lover. I was introduced to Dessert wine by my a family member a few years ago. Neither are terribly expensive. One if La Flora Blanc and the other is Beaumes de Venice. The latter comes in small bottles if its for a special occasion. I'm no connoisseur - they can keep the dry wines and the red - give me a dessert wine anytime.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know what I like, not what the experts say I should like.

I just got turned on to dessert wines. They are incredible. Idaho has a great ice wine called Ste.Chapple. For others check out the internet.

Try a Muscato, It is a really sweet dessert wine with natural carbonation. (Some don't have the bubbles, so you have to look at the label).
Volpi Muscato is the best, though. It is good Moscato, with lots of fresh apricot and peach. Not too expensive either.

Try a Port Wine...the Portuguese make some excellent ones.

A good port would be lovely but if you like a drier wine, a luscious West Coast Cabernet would be nice. Ask your wine merchant what cabernets have fruity rather than woody undertones.
