- ARN - 12-02-2003 Some friends have an annual lobster dinner and i have become in charge of the wine. Last year i went into our local wine store and got some great advice and a some excellent wine. I would like to get some ideas on different types and maybe even a red if anyone has a good idea. We are serving the lobster straight up with clarified butter and there will probably be some sort of salads. Thanks - Innkeeper - 12-02-2003 Hi Arn, and welcome to the Wine Board. Recommend 2002 Mad Fish Western Australian Chardonnay. If you live in Maine, I know it is available here. Otherwise look for it or any other "unoaked" or "unwooded" chardonnay from Australia, New Zealand or the U.S. You might also look for a Macon Villages, Macon Lugny, or Saint Veran from the Maconnais in France. - Bucko - 12-03-2003 Seconded........ - ARN - 12-03-2003 thank you very much. Im heading out on a scouting mission today and this info is greatly apprectiated. - Duane Meissner - 12-04-2003 I'm no expert but I have enjoyed Champagne with lobster before. If anyone else agrees with me they can give specific producer suggestions. I like V.Cliquot. DM |
