Mix in Cheddar cheese, and cook another 5 minutes, until melted.
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. You could try Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 11 dollars per bottle.

"...a surprisingly complex and outstanding value in nearly-dry Riesling... Lemon, green apple, wet stone, and lightly floral aromas are followed by a crisp, slate-saturated palate and a finish of juicy citrus and apple, nut oils, mineral salts, and wet stone..."-Wine Advocate"This wine has to be one of the best deals in Mosel Riesling. Ernst Loosen's 'introductory' Riesling is marked by flavors of fresh peach and apricot, balanced by a fair amount of refreshing acidity. A great aperitif."- Food & Wine Magazine
