Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling

Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are great choices for Clams. 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. You could try Foley Estate Winery Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 27 dollars per bottle.
