GTFO! April 1st of this year is the 10th anniversary of my first date with my wife. Small World. It also happens to be our 5 year anniversary...

Anyway, onto wine. Check out: Linganore Winecellars: Welcome to Marylands Premier Vineyard. They make several fruit wines, as well as sweeter than normal grape wines. Those who have had their wines rave about them (I'm a dry red wine guy, so I avoid this stuff, but several friends rather enjoy them).

White wines tend to be sweeter than reds, so if your wife isn't a big wine fan, I'd avoid most reds. As far as white wines go, Riesling and Pinot Grigio tend to be on the sweeter side as opposed to a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Blush wines (Rosé for example) will be on the sweeter side as well.

As far as sparkling whites go, my wife and I had a really nice Prosecco not too long ago.

Don't be afraid to hit a few local wine stores and ask questions. Naturally, a store that sells Mad Dog and Thunderbird might not be your best bet, there if you look, there are some quality wine shops around that will help you get what you need.
