I recently had a wine I really liked (a 10yr old CA Chardonnay). I tried finding some more using the wine finder at but no luck, at least not of that vintage or near it.
Are there other web wine resources worth checking out, or am I best just trying to have a local wine merchant find it for me? I'm only looking for a couple bottles, not a whole case.

Why don't you post what it is you're looking for here. Maybe someone can help find it.

UGH! Why do I have to create an account on WineAccess just to do a search!? Bugmenot to the rescue once again...
There are quite a few wine auctions sites around that you might want to investigate. Winecommune.com is one; there are a few others out there.

Did you check the vintner's web site?

10 years is old for a Chardonnay, isn't it? Whites don't age like reds.

Depends. Some 10 year old chards are deep and delicious. But they usually cost a pretty penny when new.

I've had some old whites that were great but only within minutes of un-corking.
As though nine years of aging caught up in five minutes once opened.

locating a bottle of wine can be quite impossible. it's all about the distributor/importer and if you know who that is, you will have an easi(er) time. not knowing the importer and you will probably have a near impossible time.
cali wines may be easier, but many vineyards go out of business and/or produce very few cases, so they come and they go.
