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. You could try Gilbert Picq Chablis. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
