($25, Frederick Wildman & Sons): Chablis remains one of, if not the best, values for white wine.  Always made exclusively from Chardonnay, Chablis, when produced by dedicated growers such as Christian Moreau, delivers a unique profile of flintiness and verve, even at this lower end of the prestige ladder.  This village wine, with its stony quality, delivers more enjoyment than many Chardonnay based wines costing far more.  Not an opulent buttery style, its cutting edginess makes it an ideal accompaniment to grilled shrimp or shellfish.
