Lobster is tasty stripped down or stacked with a host of other ingredients. Whether your dish is steamed or grilled and drenched in butter, there is a delicious wine that goes well with the popular seafood. The professionals at Brookside Inn Restaurant in Oxford, CT, are familiar with tastes, textures, and notes of sweet and bitter wines. Below, they share which libations work best with lobster.

Which Wines Should You Drink With Lobster?

1. Chardonnay

The taste of chardonnay ranges from robust oak to light fruity flavors. Hints of vanilla make the wine the perfect complement to grilled, baked, and broiled lobster dishes. Chardonnay is also often paired with lobster at state dinners for Queen Elizabeth.

2. Sauvignon Blanc

wineHave you tasted any dry wines lately? The crisp and slightly bitter taste of Sauvignon Blanc perfectly counters the mild, somewhat sweet taste of lobster. Choose from wines that carry a light peach note or stick to zesty and bitter fruit flavors. Enjoy your lobster in a bisque or grill the tail and eat it with a glass of wine.

3. Champagne

Champagne is a go-to wine for any meal. When paired with a lobster wrapped in cream and butter-based sauces, the wine highlights the rich tastes of the dish. Pour yourself a glass of champagne chilled and enjoy throughout the meal.
