Wine Recommendation: America's love affair with pinot grigio is based in part on the wine's versatility, which extends even to many-flavored salads such as this one. Crisp, with a subtle nuttiness and a round, soft, medium body, a pinot grigio from Friuli will also be a perfect partner for the scallops.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir 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 Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
