WINE PAIRING TIPS

Porks love Chardonnay!

For pork chops with a butter or cream sauce, go with a lighter style Chardonnay.

A cool-climate unoaked version will have the bright acidity needed to balance out the richness of the sauce. And the minerality and notes of citrus, pear, and apple will pair nicely with the dish.Speaking of which, a glass of Chardonnay also goes great with pork chops and apple sauce or apple-stuffed pork chops.

Chablis is a cool climate region in France that specializes in unoaked Chardonnay.
