Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc are my top picks 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 Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Monterey Pinot Noir with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Monterey Pinot Noir

The Silver Label Pinot Noir has a bright ruby color and reveals an alluring perfume of red plums, flowers, and sweet spices. Profuse flavors of black cherry, dark currant, and strawberry fill out the plush palate while notes of sandalwood continue into the soft, elegant finish.
