We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.

Pinot Grigio Wine
This grilled scallops recipe produces tasty and clean scallops with a little taste of the grill. While you could pair a lot of wines with scallops we would choose a Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigios tend to have notes of lime, green apple, lemon, white nectarine and tropical fruits which would compliment the fresh scallops.
