Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Crab. 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 The Calling Sullivan Vineyard Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 44 dollars per bottle.

The Calling Sullivan Vineyard Chardonnay

Beautiful concentrated ripe fruit and notes of creme brulee on the nose lead to a full palate of apple butter, ripe melon and hazelnut with integrated oak and a long persistent finish.
