Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling

Crab works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling. 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 Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
