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. The Domaine Louis Michel et Fils Chablis ( half-bottle) with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
