Note: Four 1 1/2-pound lobsters yield about four cups of cooked lobster meat. Most of the lobsters we used were between 1 1/4 pounds and 1 1/2 pounds. If you can't get or don't want to use live lobsters, use frozen tails. Six six-ounce tails, which you should steam for eight minutes, yield about two cups cooked meat.

Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster works really well with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Louis Jadot Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 160 dollars per bottle.

Louis Jadot Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru

7 "climats" can be called Grand Cru in Chablis : Preuses, Bougros, Les Clos, Grenouilles, Blanchot, Valmur, and Vaudésir. Those vineyards are all situated on the right side of Le Serein river, on the hill. This situation gives a strong and full-bodied character to the wine.Very pale straw in color, with an explosive nose of vivid floral aromas and crunchy fresh fruits that provides the ultimate expression of its cool terroir. The palate shows great tension and energy.
