Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Scallops works really well 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 Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir
Aged in French oak, this Pinot Noir has a beautiful garnet color with aromas of Bing cherry, red raspberry, baking spice and subtle vanilla notes. It presents a lush softness on the palate coupled with flavors of concentrated red and blue fruit, with a core of cherry and dark raspberry with purple violet oral notes. Medium bodied with balanced acidity that lifts the flavors.
