Greek Rubbed Pork Chops with Honey Mustard Sweet Potatoes & Cabbage

I'm currently reading the book A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage (pretty interesting read by the way) and in the section on wine, Standage writes about the ancient wines from Greece.  His book made me very interested to try Greek wine.  Greece was one of the original producers of wines back in ancient times, but has definitely become overshadowed by the wines produced in Italy and France.  That doesn't mean that Greek wines aren't worth trying though!  Dan and I have tried 2 different bottles of Greek wine now, both of which were really good (and cheap!).  Next time you're at a liquor store, check and see if they have any Greek wines on hand to try.  And then pour a glass for dinner to enjoy with some Greek rubbed pork chops!
