Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling

Chowder on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. 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. One wine you could try is Piccini Chianti Classico. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 10 dollars.

Bright ruby with a hint of purple. Plum, violet notes mix with lush, ripe wild berries. Expansive and alive on the palate, with a lingering, velvety mouth feel. The long finish is buried in fruit.A versatile wine, best served at 64ºF, fantastic with juicy red meats, grilled or roasted.
