Hi!

Can someone suggest a pair for caramelized scallops? How do I make the choice?

Thanks in advance.

It's the caramelized part that took me off the dry wine idea. Would love a white from Bordeaux or a Chard from Burgundy with lightly sauteed scallops.

How about Château d'Yquem? I'm not very sure. Will it be too sweet to go with caramelized stuff? Solo, the acidity balances the sweetness quite well, but its the caramel I'm worried about.

The last time I had a Vouvray (Marc Brédif), it didn't sit very well even with the seafood. Perhaps I should have aged it a bit more. (I don't prefer Clos du Bourg Sec because of cloves.)

Or perhaps a Cremant?

Château d’Yquem is a dessert wine and definitely too sweet for your dish. If Vouvray is not your cup of tea, go for a slightly off dry Riesling (German or North American).

Well, we scrapped the scallops.

My in-laws preferred vouvray. Had some Marc Bredif and sushi for dinner. And my old man was really impressed with Yquem we had late in the night. Although I don't understand how - he was quit tipsy by that time. ;-)

Thanks a lot guys! Smile
