Instructions
Heat the grill to high for direct grilling.
Stir together the vinegar, lime juice, honey, onions, jalapeno, chopped herbs and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Remove the tops of the oysters over a bowl, catching any of the oyster liquor that comes out.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscadet
Chardonnay, Riesling, and Muscadet are great choices for Oysters. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. One wine you could try is Broadside Chardonnay. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Broadside Chardonnay
Light bright gold. Ripe pear and nectarine aromas show good clarity and pick up smoky lees and toasted grain nuances with aeration. Silky and open-knit, offering concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of fennel and honey. The smoky quality comes back on a long, smooth finish that leaves behind a refreshingly bitter pear skin note.
