Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscadet

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Muscadet are my top picks for Oysters. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. One wine you could try is DeMorgenzon DMZ Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 16 dollars.

DeMorgenzon DMZ Chardonnay

A classic example of fine Stellenbosch Chardonnay, this wine shows stone fruit aromas of nectarine and peach with subtle citrus hints and creamy oak. The palate has bright acidity and limey freshness, but delivers rich texture and a chalky, mineral length.
