Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Crab works really well with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. One wine you could try is Georgetown Vineyards American Chardonnay. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Georgetown Vineyards American Chardonnay

Our 2014 American Chardonnay was barrel fermented in small French oak barrels, producing a wine with a pleasant finish of green apple and complex minerals.
