Okay, so I'm thinking of getting a bottle of wine to drink tomorrow night. Any suggestions?

I tend to like white, but I want to try some red.
I don't like something really dry.
I tend to like it a little sweet.
Something without too much of an aftertaste.
No more than $15-20 for the bottle. I don't mind cheap wine.

my buddy's first and last experience with it entailed him stopping at a liquor store by a strip club and chugging it in the parking lot on the way in, obviously warm, i cant imagine that sittin well with anyone, considering its like 35 proof, dont think it stayed down long enough to give him a buzz. i had to laugh at him, to try to drink that warm... it is some nasty, nasty stuff. but ice cold it is drinkable and very cost-effective

Shiraz is definitly not sweet.

The answer to your question:

Seven Deadly Zins

Lustful Flavors:
A vibrant, sweet bouquet of raspberry jam, molasses and cinnamon toast evoke the senses of carefree youthful nights. Excellent oak integration provides silken tannins and spice to pair with Lodi’s unrestricted wild berry fruit.

Gluttonous Pairings:
Our 7 Deadly pairs sinfully well with BBQ’d Salmon, prime rib or grilled veggies. Get crazy with delectable dark chocolate desserts!

Not to make this any more difficult, but I have always found either Sterling or Robert Mondavi to be exceptional values. You can usual find several varieties (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, or Cab) of both at your local Sam's Club or Costco. Best of luck!

Estancia is a good white (and red for that matter); Chardonay

Blue Nun or Black Tower : Qualitezwein (sp?)...sort of like a Reisling

Can't go wrong with Kendal Jackson : Whites or Reds

Robert Mondavi; Whites or Reds.

those are my 'can't miss' for the $10-20 range.

Pink Champale!!!!!

I had forgotten. Me and a friend drank a case of that one night. All we did was piss and piss and piss and get a headache.

Billy Joel is a classy sonuvagun. I've written at least one thread about his greatness.

I was thinking of Blue Nun after I posted about the Riesling. Based upon her taste, it would fall right in line.
