Is there such a thing as a good Chardonnay?

[Vivian]

And I was worried that I wouldn't get any replies! Thank you all for the great information. I am encouraged and would definitely like to include a Chardonnay at our wine tasting. 2 people mentioned Kim Crawford, which I'm not familiar with (region?) Can you tell me if it is readily available, a good year to look for and what price range I can expect? Our guests are asking what kind of wine they can bring, but I don't want to ask them to pick up a bottle of 1999 Kim Crawford and find out it was an $80 bottle!

PS. This is an awesome site! I'm so glad I found it!
