Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling

Pork Chops works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, 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 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.
