Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster works really well with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Louis Jadot Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 160 dollars per bottle.
