Lobster on the menu? Try pairing with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. The Francine et Olivier Savary Chablis Vieilles Vignes with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 33 dollars per bottle.
