Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc 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. You could try Marcassin Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 315 dollars per bottle.
