Quest for Divine Chablis (the real stuff) fails again...

Brett, a trip to Is-Wine (Foodie's) would be well worth the trip. It is at 225 East 5th Street (betweem 2d Ave and Cooper). Some neat restaurants in the area too.

I too am an oakaphobe. Most chardonnays that cost less than $20 from the Macon Region of Burgundy are oak free. The more expensive Saint Verans and Pouilly Fuisses are usually lightly oaked, but nothing like most New World Chardonnay. Speaking of New World; both Australia and New Zealand offer a few "unwooded" chardonnays. All I've tried have been good to excellent. Look for Plantagenet Omrah Unwooded Chardonnay. It runs around $13.
