Sauvignon Blanc:

Comes mostly from California, France, New Zealand, and South Africa. Its highly acidic wines are often suggestive of herbs or grass. Light to medium bodied and usually dry, European versions are generally not oaky while California Sauvignon Blanc can take on many of the qualities of Chardonnay. France has two classic wine regions for the Sauvignon Blanc gape: Bordeaux and the Loire Valley The Bordeaux wine is called Bordeaux Blanc and the two best known of the Loire wines are called Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. In Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is sometimes blended with Sémillon.

Cabernet Sauvignon:

(cab er nay saw vee nyon)—This highly adaptable grape grows almost anywhere it is relatively warm, but the best wines come from the Burgundy region of France (where it is a noble variety), California, and Australia. It became famous through the red wines of the Médoc district of Bordeaux and is now grown in Washington, southern France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes make wines that are high in tannin and medium- to full-bodied. Usually identified as having black currant or cassis flavors, the grape can also possess vegetal tones when the grapes are less than ideally ripe. The best wines are rich and firm with great depth, and are often aged for fifteen years or more. Because it is highly tannic, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with other less-tannic grapes such as Merlot.

Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Onions

Rated

Ingredients

6 pieces pork tenderloin (6 oz each), trimmed of surrounding fat, butterflied and pounded to a thickness of 1/2"
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 cups onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup cold water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground cumin or caraway seeds
1-1/2 lbs Rome Beauty apples, unpeeled but halved lengthwise, cored and thinly sliced crosswise
3/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Season the pork with the thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.

Lightly coat 2 nonstick skillets with vegetable cooking spray and place them over high heat. When they are hot, add the pork and cook it for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the meat to an ovenproof platter and keep it warm in a 180° oven while you make the sauce.

Divide the onions between the skillets and sauté them for about 3 minutes, until they are softened. Combine all the onions in 1 of the skillets.

Add the vinegar, water, sugar and cumin or caraway seeds to the skillet. Stir in the apples, salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and boil the mixture gently over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the liquid is almost gone and the apples are moist and tender.

Return the pork (and any juices that have accumulated on the platter) to the skillet and reheat for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
