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. One wine you could try is Gilbert Picq Chablis. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.
