Sweet, not bitter

[Randy Caparoso]

Absolutely the safest common choice of wine for you would be a Riesling (often called Johannisberg Riesling in the U.S.), which are usually at least slightly sweet, very light and easy to drink. Don't be afraid to walk into a wine store and ask a salesman where to find them, and then make sure that the one you are getting is, indeed, slightly or medium sweet. The finest (and smoothest), by the way, come from Germany.

I promise you, Rieslings are almost never "bitter." Just nice and soft.
