Hi Miime, and welcome to the Wine Board. Wines in the U.S. are divided into three general categories: table wines, dessert wines, and sparkling wines. Table wines are all still wines that sweet or dry, and have less than 16% alcohol. Dessert wines are still, extremely sweet, hight alcohol, and frequently fortified with brandy or other spirits. If you want one of the latter, try a Port.

Sweet red table wines are few and far between. Lambrusco from Italy is the easiest to come by. Most of your local Texas wineries can be depended on to have sweet or at least off dry selections. You might also try a fruity dry wine such as the '03 Nouveau Beaujolais that is currently available.
