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. The Julien Brocard Chablis Boissonneuse with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 35 dollars per bottle.
