Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine are my top picks for Clam Chowder. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. You could try Maison de la Villette Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.

Maison de la Villette Chardonnay
Lovely golden color with a subtle nose of white flowers and citrus. A refreshing and complex white wine with lemon pie, fresh banana and pear scents followed by roasted hints of praline, vanilla and candied chestnuts. Perfect served on its own as an aperitif or with seafood, grilled fishes and salads.10 to 12 day fermentation with both French and American oak is followed by a soft 6 month maturation on the wine’s natural lies. About half of the final blend completes malolactic fermentation, which allows to keep some natural acidity. An early bottling allows to capture freshness and primary flavors.
