Ice wine would be a disaster.

I'd go for a Chardonnay...Fess Parker, Cuvaison, or something else from California...french wine would be too heavy. Go to the wine shop and ask for a recommendation, they are usually good at steering you in the right direction.

a pouilly fuisse or a fume blanc go pretty well with the critters or you can always go wild and have champagne.

How are you cooking the sea bug?

Which Wine With Maine Lobster

 

[Ravi]

Wow, people eat lobster any other way than dipped in butter? Sacrilege!

btw, Bones, Florida lobster is much better if you can get it.

 

[strollingbones]

Wine/Food Pairing Chart: White Wines

Sauvignon Blanc or Fume Blanc....you could probably get a good south african or austrailian or argentinian white if you went to you local wine shop....i would not spend the extra cash on a california white.....you may want to get two different wines to compare and see which one is better for you.....do not over chill them.....

chardony can also work but may be a bit too dry and or buttery and or and oaky depending on which one you pick...

assuming you are not doing it in a spanish red sauce style......in which case you could go with a spanish red.....

ooooo the Albariño would be great...he would be impressed with that one....

i have the entire day planned for him....he will ski all day...have dinner...then a concert...willie nelson..and asleep at the wheel...i like texas swing..in reality this day of activity will kill us both

no shit...i didnt care about willie..then i heard asleep at the wheel would be there...i figure they will open and then they will play a set with willie then he will play a set...of course...i could be wrong...figure if willie sucks we can leave...son is willing to be the dd...so we can both drink....i most likely wont..since staying awake..past 9 ish can be tough for me...


son is not going to concert..just dropping us off and picking us up...he is doing it in bitter quietness ...

 

[Ravi]

lol, skiing and lobster, sounds crazy to me but I'd do it. I like my lobster grilled, dipped in butter on a hot afternoon overlooking the ocean. Heaven.

 

[strollingbones]

o i am making dinner....i cant afford lobster out...hell i am blowing a wee bit of money on this birthday...but he deserves it...i plan to drive him to the slopes and drop him off right at the door....well as close as i can...i have the lobster ordered...i hope they come in all..but if not i will drop back and punt...so i will call wine shops tomorrow and look for the Albariño

 

[strollingbones]

shit...i have no plan b....i got my a plan then nothing.....and they are issuing winter storm warnings ...for tomorrow and thursday...creme brulee for dessert? or is that too heavy on top of lobster...

 

[Ravi]

eek! Riesling with lobster...well, let us know if you like the pairing.

 

[strollingbones]

o nevermind....fuck me running...i got to do a birthday cake for him....o hell..i got no plan a ..now
