Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Chablis and Chardonnay are my top picks for Lobster. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. You could try La Chablisienne Chablis Cote de Lechet Premier Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 27 dollars per bottle.
