Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Chablis and Chardonnay are great choices for Lobster. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Domaine Louis Michel et Fils Chablis Butteaux Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
