Dry, austere and crisp, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Grigio are the wines I reach for when I am serving lean, white fish cooked simply. Flounder, halibut, walleye, snapper, raw clams or oysters all do well with these wines. Alternately, you can use these wines to cut through the natural fat in some fish, such as striped bass, catfish, lobster, or mussels.
Choosing the right wine to pair with crab. Linda Murphy, Chronicle Wine Editor. With its succulent, ocean-fresh sweetness, Dungeness crab pairs best with white wines that don't overwhelm the rich yet delicate flavor of the meat. Whether it's steamed, cracked and served gloriously unadorned, or prepared according to one of today's recipes, crab's pure, sweet flavor should be center stage, with the wine a supporting player. A buttery California Chardonnay would work with crab dipped in melted butter, but this style of wine usually has oak flavors that can overpower the seafood. If the crab is steamed and chilled, try it with the 2002 Pine Ridge California Chenin Blanc-Viognier ($14), an unusual blend that has the citrus, melon and slight honeyed character of the Chenin Blanc grape and the floral aromas and richness of Viognier.
