Honestly, a lot of the finger lakes producers pump out sweet white wines that are probably what you’re looking for. They’re not my cup of tea so I can’t vouch for the taste, but as someone who grew up in western New York, I can assure you that there is more to sweet white wine than Barefoot. Lots of finger lakes wineries make a lot of their money off of selling this cheap, sweet wine by volume, so you will definitely be able to find what you want.

Besides drinking dessert wine, you are likely not going to find very many imports that would satisfy your sweet tooth. There are probably some different classes of Riesling that you might like (ex. Beerenauslese or trockenbeerenauslese), but those will cost some extra green.

I Stan for Kim Crawford like no others, but I doubt that you will like it based on your comments - so try it, but don’t buy a case of it yet.

Lastly, I really appreciate that you own your preference for sweet whites. Wine is meant to be fun, so don’t ever let some bozo try to ‘fix’ you. Cheers!

Spent time in the area as well and if I can add one sweet wine to the list, it would be Thirsty Owl’s Diamond.

Ice wines are very sweet. Also, try Bartenura Moscato. It’s almost grape juice because the alcohol content is so low they don’t even have to display the amount on the bottle. Very sweet and bubbly though.

like

Pinot Grigio and Muscato tends to be sweet. Same with White Zinfandel too! I really enjoy Gewurztraminer.

like

Pinot Grigio can be very dry / crisp. This is where it helps to go to a local wine shop, someone who knows exactly what they're selling vs guessing based on varietal.
