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 Cycles Gladiator Chardonnay with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

The aromatics really jump out of the glass. Papaya, peaches, andpineapple on the nose with just a hint of toasted oak. Nectarines and other stone fruit on the forepalate. Ripe, round flavors of peach juice and pineapple. Soft acidity and a lush texture wrap around the tongue towards the back of the palate.Pairs with rich, creamy flavors such as scallops in an orange beurre blanc. Also chicken alfredo, seafood fettuccine, or any pasta smothered in a cream sauce.
