Equipment

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio

Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio are my top picks 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 Eighteen Miles Chardonnay with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

Eighteen Miles Chardonnay
Winemaker Jessica Boone looked to the cool Sonoma Coast for this bright, complex Chardonnay. Light stone fruit, Meyer lemon and appealing minerality on the nose carry over onto a creamy palate balanced by vibrant acidity. Notes of vanilla and sweet oak enhance the wine's complexity. For the wines of Eighteen Miles, Jessica Boone (of Passalacqua Winery) sources grapes from nine distinct appellations all within an eighteen mile radius around Healdsburg, CA. Please also try Eighteen Miles Cab, Zin, Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah.
