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 Rochioli Estate Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 42 dollars per bottle.
