This versatile, classic Finger Lakes riesling tasted great with slow
cooker corned beef and cabbage this spring. It complements these year-round
pork chop and potato packets equally well. The wine's abundant apricot
character suited Cortland apples perfectly, but others will work as well.
Try cooking these packets on the grill, too.

Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread potato slices on foil sheet, to approximate size of your pork chop. Place pork chop on potato slices. Mix soy sauce, mustard, riesling, pepper, and thyme and spoon half over pork. Top with onion and apple slices. Spoon on remaining wine mix. Fold and crimp the foil to create an air-tight packet.
