Suggestions on first wine

[ebunn40]

I have been trying several red wines, and am still not quite there (a little too dry).So, I tried (kind of cheap) a white merlot, and also one that is a blend of chardonnay and white zinfandel. They were both quite good for the casual drink. They had the sweetness I like, but a little drier than straight white zinfandel (the typical beginner's wine). Chardonnay is one of my favorite white wines, and you might also want to try a Riesling. They are both middle of the road enough to keep you from choking from it being either too sweet or too dry. I'm a novice too, so you judge.
