Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling

Crab can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. 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.
