Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc are great choices for Scallops. 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 MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir

Our MacMurray Ranch 2012 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir opens with aromas of lavender and boysenberry that give way to flavors of dark cherry and pomegranate. This luscious wine has a silky mouthfeel, framed by subtle hints of oak from barrel aging.
