Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, Muscadet, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sparkling Wine

Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner, and Muscadet are great choices for Crawfish. Though different seafoods can certainly call for different wines, generally a crisp, light-bodied white wine or a sparkling white wine will do the trick and not drown out any subtle flavors. You could try Hahn Winery Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
