Two highly rated chardonnays...

...recently tried these two.
What a difference.
Alpha Omega Napa 2007 - $50 - 94 points WS ($40 internet)
This is simply a stunning chardonnay - complex flavors, lots of fruit and balance - everyone who tastes it raves about it. One of the best in recent memory.2008 Bernardus Monterey County - $24 - 92 points WS ($16 Costco)
This is a decent chardonnay but it has some off flavors so I'm surprised it rates more than the mid to high 80 point range. (I tried a few bottles.) Forget about it.2 point difference - night and day.
Says a lot about the value of ratings and WS is the only one I pay attention to.
