Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling are my top picks 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. The Hanna Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Hanna Chardonnay

With a color of brilliant honey and golden straw, this wine brings aromas of grilled peach, pear pie, with caramel, plantain,Pineapple. On the palate, fresh slice apple with pie crust, caramel, pear pie, grilled peach, toast and banana.
