a nice crisp white with scallops and for convo after dinner. Red with meat. I prefer Italian wines and have been fond of Sauvignon Blancs this summer for whites and am a big fan of Brunello's but they are normally $$. Go with a nice Rosso di Montalcino such as Uccelliera one of my favories

Since you are doing delicate scallops and a nice piece of red meat I would go with a light red wine. Something like a Beaujolais would work. You can serve it room temperature or even serve it slightly chilled. It should pair well with the scallops and the steaks.

http://www.stallerestate.com/wine-list/ White: Rock Valley White, An off dry white wine with exotic aromas of tropical pineapple Red: Estate Reserve, Medium bodied dry red, slightly spicy with a hint of oak Neutral for both: Maiden Blush, A semi-dry blush wine with a strong strawberry aroma and subtle floral and citrus tones Sounds like a delicious meal pending.

Have both and let your guests pick the one they want. I'm not a follower of the red wine with meat and white wine with sea food school of thought. Sterling winery from Napa Valley has two of my favorites. Their Meritage is the best red under $40 IMO. It sells here for about $15. The Pinot Griggio is very nice. Not too sweet with pear and apple flavors. It also sells for about $15 around here.

What time can I come Over?
You can split the difference and have a White Zinfandel available. I prefer Sutter Home. Or a Shiraz such as from Yellow Tail - lighter red. After dinner to cut and grease taste from the steak a good Merlot. BV is my choice there. Hope this helps

I like red, I always tell people to drink the wine you like don't worry about the pairing.
