Clam Bake

[randery]

Having a clam bake w/ Lobster, clams (little necks and steamers), corn, sausage. Thinking Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Riesling,Duck Pond Pinot Noir, beer and soda. There will be some guest-brought sides like green salad and desserts. Any thoughts would be helpful. I'll be heading to the wine merchant tomorrow (Sat).

Those are good choices. Only thing I would add would be a South African or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

How about a Riesling from Haight? Support the local economy.

Thanks,IK, I'll pick up some Brancott SB. KC, I do not like the Haight wines at all. But since most of my guests are from out of the area, it probably makes sense to pick up a bottle or two of thier Riesling. Someone else might enjoy it.

My wife and I were at Haight about nine years ago. Nothing they had was any cause for excitement then. Looks like they haven't improved much since. Anyway, it was just a half hearted suggestion to include their wines.

The Brancott Reserve SB, on the other hand, is an excellent choice.

Thanks to IK and KC for the suggestions. Great fun, The wine-drinkers were lovin' the selections. Never did get over to Haight, though.

Randery- I often choose the Bonny Doon for my seafood suppers. Goes so well with the fresh stuff available here don't you think?

WD, it is a perfect match,IMHO. The cool crispness and clean taste are unbeatable. The Brancott is terrific too.
