Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Pork Tenderloin on the menu? Try pairing with Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The Menage a Trois Malbec with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
