Lobster Mash & Creamy Chardonnay

A heavy albeit exquisite appetizer we constructed was the garlic lobster mashed potatoes paired with a glass of chilled Charles & Charles Chardonnay from Washington State. The mashed potatoes are quite simple. You simply take some lobster meat and saute it in garlic and butter. Boil 2-4 peeled potatoes until soft and then proceed to mash until potatoes are almost creamy. Mix in the garlic lobster as well as some goat cheese and mix well. Sprinkle with chives. Serve hot.
The wine’s smooth, buttery and creamy texture really highlited the richness of the dish while the acidity and buttery flavours of the wine played nicely with the lobster and garlic butter. Highly recommended!
