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. One wine you could try is Domaine de Chantemerle Chablis. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.
