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. You could try Etienne Boileau Chablis. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
