Equipment

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 Simonnet-Febvre Petit Chablis. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
