Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are my top picks for Crab. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. The Moet & Chandon White Star () with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()

White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
