Expert wine advice from SommelierX
Seafood encompasses a vast range of flavors and textures, from delicate oysters to rich lobster. The unifying thread is that most seafood pairs best with white wines and sparkling wines. The key factors are the sweetness of the shellfish, the richness of the preparation, and whether there is a sauce involved. One rule remains constant: high acidity in the wine will always complement the briny, oceanic flavors.
Pure Chardonnay bubbles with mineral precision. The acidity and effervescence elevate every type of seafood.
The quintessential seafood wine. Bone-dry, mineral and with a saline quality that mirrors the ocean.
Aromatic and textured with stone fruit and a briny minerality. Born on the Atlantic coast, made for seafood.

Lobster with butter calls for a rich Chardonnay — the butter in both creates harmony.
