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. You could try Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 62 dollars per bottle.
Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay
The wine is straw yellow in color. On the nose expresses slow roasted pears and honeysuckle flowers. On the palate, the wine is bright and full bodied, with loads of Meyer lemon and fresh apricot flavors.
