Instructions
Make mayonnaise: Preheat oven to 350F. Separate garlic cloves, place in a baking dish and drizzle with oil. Roast until softened, about 35 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Lower temperature to 200F. Peel garlic, add lemon juice and mash with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise.
Mix celery, scallions, crabmeat, mayonnaise and 2 cups bread crumbs; season with salt and pepper.
Spread remaining bread crumbs on waxed paper. Gently form mixture into 8 1-inch-thick patties.
Place each cake in bread crumbs and turn to coat.
Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook crab cakes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Keep warm in oven until ready to serve.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are my top picks 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 Rochioli Estate Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 42 dollars per bottle.

Rochioli Estate Chardonnay
This wine is a fine example of the unique characteristics from the Rochioli property and the Russian River Valley. Aromas of ripe apple, tropical fruit, hazelnut and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity.
