Looking for an expensive wine with a sweet taste?
what would u recommend? and please, no boone's farm.
Answers:
What is more important? Expensive or sweet? I've tasted Mogen David concord wine, and it's VERY sweet. But it's cheap. (It's also Kosher.) Take a look.

A Late Harvest White Wine...
Sauternes are out of fashion, whcih means you can get a very good one for relatively little. They are light and sugary and a great dessert wine. On the cheap side, Muscatels are OK though they lack a clean taste and are musky and often cloying. Germany produces a lot of sweet wines with unpronounceable names; find a really good large wine retailer and ask for help in picking one. Of all the not cheap but not overexpensive sweet wines, I suggest Barsac. Now, if money is no object take your $300 and buy a Chateau d'Yquem and spend an a hour in Ambrosial Heaven
You want a dessert wine or an ice wine...
1. Muscat Canneli is a nice sweet wine.
2. Another choice is Duerkheimer Fronhof - Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese (Germany ) $70
3. Other sweet German wines: Auslese and Beerenauslese
4. Italian dessert wines: Prosecco and Asti Spumante
For fortified wines (extra alcohol added) look into
Muscato, Maidera, Marsala
I really enjoy a nice bottle of Piesporter. It is quite mild and very fruity.
Why would you look for an expensive wine? A reasonably priced wine can be just as tasty. My favorite is a Gwertraminer from Alsace, France. It is sweet but potent. The state of Washington in the U.S. make a pretty good one as well. If buying one from Washington, look for grapes grow in the Yakima Valley.
