Scallops on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc. Chardonnay and chenin blanc are great matches for grilled or seared scallops. If your scallops are being matched with bacon or other cured meats, try a lightly chilled pinot noir. The King Estate Domaine Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.
