Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir 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. One wine you could try is A to Z Chardonnay. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
