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 La Crema Russian River Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
