Equipment

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 Hahn Winery Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
