Hello, I'm planning to take a coworker (we're both interns) out to dinner and would like to take this opportunity to try wine for the first time. Here is the wine list of the restaurant we'll be going to:

I am guessing that a sweet, fruity wine would be best for us as my coworker is female and I don't like the bitter taste of alcohol. Based on some internet searches, I think that the "sauvignon blanc, sterling, napa, 08" and "pinot grigio, swanson, napa, 08" would be the best candidates. Could someone confirm if this is likely to be true?
I am also aware that one can ask to try a wine before ordering them. Would it be appropriate to ask to try both of these wines? How does that work? We will only be ordering a glass of wine each. Thanks.
