Rant: Is it just me?

[Innkeeper]

A breath of fresh air that is widely available is Cave De Lugny, Macon Lugny, Chardonnay, "Les Charmes." It is almost as flinty as a Chablis, no oak, and runs around $10.00. Took Mrs IK out for her birthday a couples of weeks ago and ordered it out of desperation to go with our mussel starters, and different lobster entrees. The Les Charmes complimented everything seamlessly.

Conversely, two nights ago we had the previously lauded (8/8/00) 1998 Mill Creek, Napa Valley, Chardonnay with sea scallops broiled with herbs and butter. The flavors of the food and the wine threw spears at each other. We ended up drinking water with dinner, and finished the wine for dessert. We will take the rest of the case down to Ocean City for quaffing on the balcony.
