Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscadet

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Muscadet are great choices for Oysters. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. You could try Poppy Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.

Poppy Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay

Youthful notes of lemon and honeysuckle are layered over ripe melon, nutmeg, and clove. The perception of sweetness is derived from fruit ripeness, aging on regularly stirred yeast lees in the presence of aged French Oak.
