Equipment

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling are my top picks for Chowder. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. The Bien Nacido Estate Chardonnay with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 53 dollars per bottle.

Inviting aromas of meyer lemon, chamomile and cut straw burst out of the glass. The bright entry yields to a dense and energetic palate that is all straight lines and mouth watering minerality.
