Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Crab. Chilled crab tastes great with pinot grigio. Warm crab (especially with butter) can be matched with a buttery Chardonnay or a crisp fruity Riesling. The Elsa Bianchi Chardonnay with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 8 dollars per bottle.

Elsa Bianchi Chardonnay

There are bright, medium-intense aromas of honeyed-lemon,peaches and tropical fruit, making this wine immediatelyattractive. A soft entry and enjoyable crispness combine forenjoyment as both an aperitif and the perfect accompaniment tolighter dishes.
