Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Scallops on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir. 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. One wine you could try is Santan Ema Reserve Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.
