Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Crab works really well with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. 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 Donati Family Vineyards Sisters Forever Un-Oaked Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
