Provencal Roasted Pork Tenderloin
This pork recipe from David is an easy dish, spiced with the flavours of Provence and served with 2007 Coteaux d’Aix en Provence from Château Vignelaure, one of the top rated red wines from the region. The meal (and the wine) marked the celebration of a 10-year anniversary of their relocation to Tuscon, Arizona – please read David’s original post here the recipe is below.
