Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

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 Louis Jadot Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 70 dollars per bottle.
