🍷 FOOD PAIRING FRIDAY

🦞 Lobster Rolls + Chardonnay 🥂

❤️ WHY IT WORKS

The buttery richness of lobster is beautifully balanced by the bright acidity and creamy texture of Chardonnay. If the lobster roll is dressed with warm butter, an oaked Chardonnay is a delicious match. If it's made with a lighter mayo dressing, an unoaked Chardonnay lets the fresh seafood shine.

How do you prefer your lobster rolls?

Have you ever lost your sense of smell with a cold and noticed food and wine tasted bland?
