Heat through (do not boil).
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling
Chowder works really well with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. The Columbia Winery Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
Columbia Winery Chardonnay
Columbia Chardonnay offers bright aromas of pear, apple and hints of tropical fruits that extend to the palate. A balanced acidity and integrated sweet vanilla oak notes create an elegant Chardonnay that is distinctly Northwest.
