I can't seem to find one I like at a restaurant (which sucks because I feel like I'm wasting money).

My favorite wines have both been from Olive Garden and I only discovered them because they offered me a taste first!

I would say we’re all right/pretty good at picking wine at a restaurant. I keep a list of wines we like at restaurants on my phone, which helps!
If we are not familiar with any of the wines on the wine list, we pick a midpriced price point and a type we like (i.e., Malbec, Chianti, Rhone red) and ask the server for a recommendation from there.

I generally don't drink wine out for this reason...plus, one glass at a restaurant is usually as much as a bottle! lol I must be cheap...
That being said, we have a liquor store near us that lets you sample from 20 different wines at any given day. They give you a card which you put in the machine, and the wine spits out into a glass! I think you can try 5 per day. It's great!

I like sweet, so I usually quiz the waiter. Sometimes I get to try before committing to a glass or bottle. When in doubt I order Rising or Moscato and as a back up Zinfandel.
You should go to a wine store and try out samples to get a feel for what you like so you know what to order next time.

I will pretty much drink any white wine out there, so I usually go with the house wine. I'm not fancy! Haha
-
I went to the liquor store once and they had suggested pairings for wines. The one I always go for was suggested to be paired with chinese food and pizza. I'm what you call classy.
-
Yep! Once you know what type you like and are familiar with brands, it gets easier!

Pretty good. There are certain wines i stick to when ordering at restaurants - Cotes du Rhone, Pinot Noir, Chianti Classico (or any sangiovese wine). With whites, i'll stick to Rieslings, Sauv Blancs or Pinot Grigio.
There are certain wines i love on its own, but stay away from when pairing it with food (i.e., anything super sweet or heavy).
