Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscadet

Clams can be paired with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Muscadet. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat.

Tom Eddy Manchester Ridge Chardonnay

The aroma is intense with many nuanced layers that marry classic California Chardonnay characteristics with a kiss of old world style. Right off the top, beautiful Chardonnay varietal notes commingle with subtle toast, understated butter cream and crisp green apple. During the ageing process, weekly lees stirring in the barrel left the palate rich and full without being flabby as the signature Manchester acidity leaves a clean and lingering finish. The French Oak barrels bestow a tinge of brown sugar that is nuanced and inviting without being overbearing. This allows for the showcasing of the superb fruit that comes from this one-of-a-kind vineyard. Cheers!
