Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place the tomatoes, olives, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until all of the ingredients are well blended and the consistency is almost smooth. Scrape the tomato and olive marinade into a large bowl; toss the scallops in the mixture until well coated.
Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthwise and wrap each piece around one scallop. Arrange wrapped scallops on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for twenty minutes.
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.
2015 brought the earliest vintage of the decade so far. After the large 2013 and 2014 vintages and the continued drought, the vines put forth a fraction of the fruit than the previous two years. They were down approximately 30% overall but the result was exceptional quality and deep, powerful wines with great acidity. Citrus, anise, saline, and energetic.
