Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, White Wine, Ingredient, Food Product Category, Sauvignon Blanc, Wine, Dry White Wine, Riesling, Drink, Menu Item Type
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. One wine you could try is Beaulieu Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.

Beaulieu Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay
Fine yellow-green gold color. The opulent, forward fruit strongly manifests itself with rich, pear-honey and vanilla extract aromas, with overtones of fresh herbs and marzipan. Very full, lush flavors reveal integrated, typically Carneros, ripe apple and peachy fruit combined with the spicy vanilla-cinnamon elements of oak. The finish is creamy, round, and toasty, neither "charry" nor resiny, the oak finely balanced the powerful fruit. This is a luxuriously textured, high extract wine; a great foil for rich fish dishes, savory chicken, or a veal roast.
