Chardonnay + Seared Scallops at SippitySup
SippitySup matched our Chardonnay with Seared Scallops with Succotash: “… The richer elements of the wine play nicely with the sweet caramelization on Greg’s scallops, and the creamy sweetness of fresh corn, while its buttery feel matches the silky texture of scallops. With a slate-like minerality and crisp acidity, this wine departs from the “Napa Chard” stereotype, and I give thanks for that!…” http://www.sippitysup.com/smith-madrone-chardonnay
