Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, 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. One wine you could try is Tyler Winery Santa Barbara County Chardonnay. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

2015 brought the earliest vintage of the decade so far. After the large 2013 and 2014 vintages and the continued drought, the vines put forth a fraction of the fruit than the previous two years. They were down approximately 30% overall but the result was exceptional quality and deep, powerful wines with great acidity. Citrus, anise, saline, and energetic.
