Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.
Why it works with Scallops With Sun Dried Tomatoes
Bubbles cut through brown butter and refresh between bites.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Buttery Chardonnay matches the sweet-rich texture of seared scallops.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Scallops With Sun Dried Tomatoes
Clean unoaked white that lets seafood flavor shine.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Scallops With Sun Dried Tomatoes
Dry rosé bridges vegetable dishes with versatility.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Scallops With Sun Dried Tomatoes
Crisp herbal white is the all-purpose seafood pairing.
