Shame on you for not already posting wine parings, but I suppose it falls under pearls before swine category, thus I can forgive it (THIS time).
But I'M asking. :D

sorry for the slow reply, CD. I was in Bermuda for a long weekend. very sketchy connectivity.
With the au poivre, I usually make myself a courvoisier stinger while I'm cooking since Thats whats what I'm cooking with. Its a great warm up to dinner. Then I generally lean towards an older thinner cab or hermitage. Favorite pairing is a 1996 Beringer Private Reserve.
If you're making both at once, I'd move more to a well balanced Shiraz as I think it works well at cutting through the butter and cheese of the scallops and still works well with the steak. Anything similar to a Two Hands Ares would be ideal. Your results may vary.
