Wines to Serve with Lobster Dishes
Dry white wines go great with lobster dishes! Here are a few of our favorite brands and varieties.
We love using Winc's wine club to discover new wines each month. You take a quiz to find the best wines for your taste preferences, and you can choose to get them on auto-ship or just once. It's also super affordable (like $8-15 a bottle with the discount!) and easy to cancel if you need to.
Chardonnay
The best wine to serve with lobster is a Chardonnay. We like to choose one from California, Chile, or Australia. Chardonnay works well because it's creamy and buttery, as well as, acidic. We like varietals with minerality and citrusy notes will bring out the complex flavors in the lobster.
Sauvignon Blanc
If you want to go a little wild and are serving a creamy lobster dish with heavy sauces, we love Sauvignon Blanc. This white wine is has good acidity and is very citrus-heavy which is a good contrast to the creamy sauces involved with some lobster dishes.
Riesling
Riesling is a great compliment is our lobster dish is spicy!
