Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Scallops on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 25 dollars per bottle.

Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay

The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
