new to wine

[yvonne]

Hi ,I am new to wine, I went to wine a tasting in St Augustine a few months ago but tried so many different ones I don;t remember them all.I do remember one thing, most tasted bitter or woody. I am looking for somthing sweet, fruity,mild,not expensive I don't want to spend alot on a bottle and not like it have to throw it in the trash.I bought a wine book from St Augustine but lost it before I read all of it. If I remember correctly most whites are dry, correct? white wines would be chardnay's,Savinon's ( soory about the spelling), Also what does Sherry and Congac taste like? I always wondered about those two and Port, i tried the port, it was very strong and i really didn't care for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
