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. You could try Laguna Winery Russian River Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
