Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are my top picks for Crab. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. The Paul Dolan Vineyards Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Paul Dolan Vineyards Chardonnay Wine

Sourced from the low-lying valleys surrounding the Russian River, an area renowned for producing rich and focused wines, Paul Dolan Vineyards Chardonnay is an exquisitely balanced wine with flavors of ripe pear, crisp apple and a creamy vanilla-spice.
