Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc are great choices 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. You could try Montinore Red Cap Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

Montinore Red Cap Pinot Noir

Balanced fruit with minimal environmental pressure. This is a blend of all the Pinot Noir blocks farmed. Each lot is fermented using native yeasts resulting in a true expression of the land on which it was grown. Drink from now to 2018. Pair with: salmon, sausage, squash, grilled meats and mushrooms are some of the many ingredients we’ve paired with the 2014 vintage.
