Wine Recommendation: Pinot grigio outsells other white wines in Italian restaurants by more than two to one, and this is the kind of dish that really shows why. Crisp, clean, and light, a good pinot grigio will nicely highlight the clams and tomatoes.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling

Clams works really well with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. 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. One wine you could try is Rochioli Estate Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 42 dollars.
