Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscadet

Clams works really well with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Muscadet. 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. The Bien Nacido Estate Chardonnay with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 53 dollars per bottle.

Bien Nacido Estate Chardonnay

Inviting aromas of meyer lemon, chamomile and cut straw burst out of the glass. The bright entry yields to a dense and energetic palate that is all straight lines and mouth watering minerality.
