Maple Sage Pork Tenderloin
Full of flavor. Serve with roasted root vegetables for a great fall meal. October 1, 2007, we were treated to a wonderful birthday meal in the Weathers' wine cellar. Great food, great company and wonderful selected wines accompanying each course. This recipe, roasted root vegetables, and figs and sausages were served. Jean was kind enough to share the recipes.
