Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Shellfish on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. 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. One wine you could try is Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
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
