Equipment

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir are my top picks 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 GEN5 Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 9 dollars.

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.
