Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling

Pork Chops can be paired with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. 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 Moet & Chandon White Star () with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()

White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
