I'm looking for a sweet wine...any suggestions?!
If you want something mildly sweet, you can try a Riesling or Gawurtztraminer. These are wines which are made from grapes which has higher sugar content, so the end product has higher sugar content. Many of these products also have lower alcohol level due to only partial fermentation. For Riesling, you can start out with some US Riesling such as Bonny Doon Sweet Pacific Riesling ($12) or Chateau St. Michelle Riesling ($10), but personally I am a huge fan of Riesling from Germany and Alsace such as Gunderloch and Lutz. As for Gawurtztraminer, you can get some pretty cheap stuff such as Sutter Home ($8). Other consideration includes Muscat.
As for really sweet wine, I would go for either Ice Wine or Port. Ice Wines are similar to Riesling in what they are wines made with grapes with high sugar content, so they are very sweet. Personal favorite includes Ice Wines from Canada - Innerskiling ($55), Jackson Trigg ($15/quarter bottle), as well as assorted Californian wines which borders Ice wine such as Dolce ($55/half). As for Port, these are fortified red wine with brandy, so they are sweet and high in alcohol. Many ports are from Portugal, such as Sandeman and Taylor, and these can be everywhere from $10 to $100 per bottles. California starts to make some very good port wines now, most notably V. Sattui ($30) and Heitz ($30).
Good luck and enjoy
Answers: Depending on how sweet you want your wine to be.

TRY A RIESLING IT' S SWEET GOES WELL WITH DESSERTS.

DEFINITELY....REISLING wine is the answer.
Unless you add sugar to other one.
Zinfandel its my favorite
and try strawberry may wine or tomasello red raspberry wine
Another vote for reisling
and a suggestion to check out some wines made with other fruits, like peach, strawberry, or blackberry wines. I had a blueberry wine once that was so sweet it tasted like fruit punch.
My favorite fruit wine is cranberry, but that's not sweet.
Have fun!
There's a good range of prices in wine, as you probably know. So depending upon your budget you can look for these types of wine where you have a good selection:
Moscato - sweet white dessert wine, chilled or room temp.
Ice Wine - very sweet dessert wine, chilled or room temp. which can be the most expensive of this group but good.
Port - sweet red dessert wine, usually room temp.
Sweet Vermouth - sweet "woody" good on ice anytime
Most Rose - pink wines best served chilled
Champagne if you like bubbles but chilled only.
Mogen David and Mannechevitz (not sure of spelling) are more like grape juice - thick, sweet and good with a sour mix and ice. The sweet stands up to the sour and they blend into a nice drink with lots of wine flavor.
Reislings can be sour and sweet at the same time. Usually good chilled.
There are some flavored wines that are usually sweet - peach, raspberry, mango. You'll find them at larger liquor stores.
If you ever try a wine and it is not sweet enough for you just turn it into a spritzer with lemon/lime soda - your favorite brand or a sour mixer.
For a very sweet wine try a dessert wine. I dont know if its the same thing in America (in in Australia) but over here they are in smaller thinner bottles and very sweet and thicker than normal wine, nicknamed stickies. These are the types of wine that you would have a nip of and sit sipping that. you certainly dont have a wine glass of it!
examples are Botrytis Semillion and a raspberry wine
