Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster can be paired with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Simonnet-Febvre Petit Chablis with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
