Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling

Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are my top picks for Shellfish. 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. You could try GEN5 Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 9 dollars per bottle.

GEN5 Chardonnay

A very friendly Chardonnay, with juicy tropical fruit flavors, a hint of creaminess, and a long, bright finish. For five generations our family has lived and worked our land in Lodi, California, always striving to leave the land in a better state for the nextgeneration.
