Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling are great choices for Chowder. Chowder can benefit from a crisp white to cut through the rich, creamy broth - or you can go big or go home with a rich, buttery chardonnay. One wine you could try is Nature's Revenge Pet Nat rosé. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
Nature's Revenge Pet Nat Rose
Notes of raspberry and wild berries with some hints of grapefruit. After a few minutes, the wine will display some clementine and white peach aromas. The wine is truly alive. The wine is mouth-filling silky and dry (there is no residual sugar) but the fruitiness in the palate tends to make you think differently – the acidity is moderate, and the final goes onto fig jam hints with a tiny touch of saltiness (like an ocean breeze).
