Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling are great choices for Pork Chops. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. You could try Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.
Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc
Arcane Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc
Produced from our own estate vines at Wheatland Vineyard, this dry "white" Pinot Noir is produced by pressing off whole cluster Pinot Noir grapes immediately after harvest. The resulting wine has intense floral aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine and gardenia and flavors of honeydew melon, white peaches, and rainier cherry. The wine has a rich, creamy mouthfeel but finishes clean, with notes of wet stone and a crisp flinty minerality.
