Is there such a thing as a good Chardonnay?

[Thomas]

Vivian, you instigated a good thread.

Re, what Roberto says. In the wine classes I give I challenge students to identify the taste of Chardonnay. The problem is: most do not really know the taste of Chardonnay because of the oak chips, muscat, sugar and such permeating the KJ and wannabe KJ wines.

But it isn't right for anyone to make a blanket statement that all Chardonnay or all of anything is no good, unless of course that someone had the wonderful opportunity to have tasted ALL of them.
