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 Brocard Sainte Claire Chablis Vieilles Vignes with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
