Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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. One wine you could try is Totus Tuus Cava. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.

Totus Tuus Cava

Totus Tuus Cava shows bright aromas of peach, lemon, and orange zest, with a touch of licorice. The wine is concentrated, tactile and dense in the mouth, with a sappy, stony character to its citrus, pit fruit and anise flavors. Shows richness and vivacity in the mouth and the bright finish is long.
