Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Scallops works really well with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc. 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 Buena Vista Chateau Buena Vista Pinot Noir. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 39 dollars.

Buena Vista Chateau Buena Vista Pinot Noir

This rich Pinot Noir opens with red fruit aromas accented by currants and orange zest. Raspberry and cherry flavors continue through to the palate and are complemented by notes of dark chocolate and blackberry. Showcasing bright acidity and a medium-bodied weight, the finish is long and lingering.
