My wife likes sweet white wines, particularly Late Harvest Riesling and Moscato.... Not the heavily syrupy type though. She tasted one up in Paso Robles (Pear Valley?) recently that she liked pretty well..Any recommendations?

Kabinett and Spatlese to begin. Kabinett Halbtroken or Spatlese Halbtroken if she wants off-dry. Mosel (green bottle) with be lighter, Rheingau (brown bottle) will be a bit heavier and more earthy. Piesporter Goldtropfchen (Mosel) should be readily available. Look for Schloss Vollrads if you want to try a Rheingau.

Riesling.

Second vowel in German.

This Muscat was one of the highlights from my Italy trip. Amazing nose and completely dry. It smelled just like muscat grapes taste (which is awesome)
I think its available in the US.

Also don't discount the french wines from Alsace. Rieslings and Pinot Blanc and Gewertz.
