What to look for in the wine

01

Account for the preparation

Grilled preparation changes the weight and intensity of grilled clams with garlic butter. Taste the sauce and seasoning as well as the main ingredient before choosing the bottle.

02

Check the individual wine

Wines from the same grape can differ in body, alcohol and sweetness. Compare those details in the profiles below; a grape name alone cannot establish how a bottle will work with your recipe.
