Wine note: No matter how they're prepared, scallops have a flavor that's unique, complex, and earthy, while their texture is almost creamy. And while all sorts of white wines work well, there's a European classic that's not to be missed: albario. Albarios are fresh, superlively, and have light peach, citrus, and almond flavors.
