Unfortunately, few in BC seem to share my feelings: they stopped selling ANY savennieres, and it's hard to find anything else from the Loire here. A couple of Chinon and Vouvray, but that's about it. It drives me crazy!

I have a question on the Loire Valley wines - are the sweetness levels (not sure what the correct term is) on the labels? For example, if I went to store and picked up a 2007 Chidaine Vouvray Argiles how do I know if it's a Sec, Demi Sec, etc? Is it on the label or do I use some other decoding method?
Thanks,
Dave

That may partly explain the reluctance of BC merchants to stock it and your difficulty in convincing your friends.
I'm more of a sucker for Vouvray when it comes from Huet, Foreau and Chidaine; I've never has a disappointment with any of their wines.
