Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Scallops can be paired 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. The Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
