Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir
Scallops works really well 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. The GEN5 Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 9 dollars per bottle.
GEN5 Chardonnay
A very friendly Chardonnay, with juicy tropical fruit flavors, a hint of creaminess, and a long, bright finish. For five generations our family has lived and worked our land in Lodi, California, always striving to leave the land in a better state for the nextgeneration.
