Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling

Clams on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. 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. The Parducci Small Lot Chardonnay Wine New Label with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.

Parducci Small Lot Chardonnay Wine New Label

Honoring the rich heritage of the Chardonnay grape, we select individually-vinified small lots of premium varietal Chardonnay grapes to blend a wine of bold, lively character and balanced flavors of crisp apple, pear, and tropical fruits.
