Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, 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. You could try Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.
