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. One wine you could try is Antica Chardonnay (Mountain Select). It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 29 dollars.
