Ok - now we're talking!

For white wines I would look at Pinot Grigio's or Chardonnays, which will include Chablis from France. Sauvignon Blanc will have a beautiful mango & melon taste and will finish dry.

Please remember when we talk about wine that fruity does not mean sweet. A grapefruit is fruity.

Rieslings, Gewurtztraminers and White Zinfandels will have a higher sugar level so these wines you will not like.

Very few red wines will be "sweet". You will notice more fruit in Pinot Noirs (crushed cherries) but they won't be sweet.

In short, if you stay away from the German section in your local grocer, than you will be fine. If you can't pronounce it then you will like it.

ps - the German wines, however, are great if you are serving food that is spicy. Sometimes when you have the right wine paired with the right food, you will be amazed.
