Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling are my top picks for Pork Loin 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 Vinum Cellars Pinot Noir. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.

Vinum Cellars Pinot Noir

The color on this generous Pinot Noir is a vibrant deep ruby color. The aromas have amazing perfumed notes typical of fine Pinot Noir and this one expresses ripe cherry and wild raspberry notes with truffle, clove and star anise spices. The palate has ample acidity and brilliant balance due to grapes picked at ripeness; not over-ripe. These notes are expressed as ripe cherry and cherry vanilla, a sappy core of French oak, vanilla and mocha which appear very silky on the palate and finish.
