What wine goes best with clams?

Steamed clams pair best with the highly-acidic Sauvignon Blanc, or a dry Rosé. If the clams are cooked in creamy sauce, try a mid-range white Burgundy instead. Both Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé go well with oysters; these wines tend to help pull the complex flavors of just-shucked oysters.
