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 Joseph Phelps Pastorale Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.
