Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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 Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 67 dollars per bottle.

Flowers Sea View Ridge Estate Pinot Noir

Deep red color with a brick rim. Aromas are floral and fruit dominant consisting of raspberry and bing cherry with subtlehints of cedar, allspice and anise. The whole cluster element provides spiciness on the palate with smooth texture andhints of minerality that leads to an acid-driven lingering finish.
