Sea Scallops with Caviar
Simple and delicious. Easy to make up as an appetizer. The saltiness of the caviar is great with sparkling wine.
Recommended Wine Pairing
Sparkling Wine
This Brut is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. Toasted brioche, almonds and melon come through on the nose. The wine explodes with flavors of bright fresh citrus, melon and apple. A long finish is highlighted with key lime pie, and mouthwatering acidity that leaves you wanting more. The Winter's Hill Estate Sparkling wine pairs perfectly with this easy to make scallops and caviar recipe. We hope you enjoy!
