Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling

Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are my top picks for Clams. 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 Santan Ema Reserve Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.
Santa Ema Reserve Chardonnay
Santa Ema Reserve Chardonnay
Santa Ema Chardonnay Reserva is a bright golden yellow colored wine that comes from the Leyda Valley. A bouquet of ripe tropical fruits emerges, such as bananas and passion fruit along with touches of honey and vanilla. In the mouth, it is a wine of good balance and pleasant acidity.Ideal to go with oily fish and sauces, seafood and grilled crab. Also ideal for white meat and mature cheeses.
