Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster works really well with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. One wine you could try is Domaine Louis Michel et Fils Chablis Vaillons Premier Cru. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 50 dollars.
