What wine goes with pork tenderloin?
Pork tenderloin is mild, lean, and takes on the personality of its preparation — a fruit glaze points one direction, a peppercorn crust another. Mid-weight wines with good fruit are the safest bet.

Sommelier's tip
Fruit glazes (apricot, cherry) can take an off-dry white; pepper crusts want the Rhône red.
