Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Corn Chowder works really well with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. 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 Antica Chardonnay (Mountain Select) with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.
