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. The Hahn Monterey Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Hahn Monterey Chardonnay
Rounded and supple, initial scents of pineapple and mango give way to aromas of pear and vanilla. A sip reveals an ample mouthfeel laced with flavors of green banana, baked apples and toffee. A delicate thread of acidity balances a lingering note of sweet butter on the creamy finish.
