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. The Pindar Peacock Chardonnay with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.

Pindar Peacock Chardonnay

Crisp, lively with hints of pear and apple, subtle notes of vanilla from oak aging. A great wine at a great price. Superb withy fish, veal, and cheeses. The ultimate food wine.
