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. One wine you could try is Aubert Lauren Vineyard Chardonnay. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 139 dollars.
