Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are great choices for Shellfish. 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 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine
"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
