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. The Tyler Winery Santa Barbara County Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Tyler Winery Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

2015 brought the earliest vintage of the decade so far. After the large 2013 and 2014 vintages and the continued drought, the vines put forth a fraction of the fruit than the previous two years. They were down approximately 30% overall but the result was exceptional quality and deep, powerful wines with great acidity. Citrus, anise, saline, and energetic.
