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. The Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut rosé with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.

Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut Rose

This cava seduces with its bright cherry red color and beautiful effervescence. It reflects the character of the variety, with its cherry and strawberry notes enveloped in honey, toasted bread and a faint floweriness. It is intense, fresh and exuberant in the mouth, with a rich, aromatic finish. Pairs well with pasta, cured meats, Japanese food and baked goods.
