November 2011 Volume 1, Issue 11Daves pick of the month is the Grand Cru International Italian Barolo.
Dave recommends this classic Italian red wine to any customer that
wants a hearty red wine that they can drink with their favourite fall com-
fort foods.
Says Dave, This wine is rich, hearty, and ages very nicely. This is the
perfect wine for me after a day of piling wood and raking leaves.
This Italian classic intense and full-bodied, luxurious flavours of dark
plums and chocolate greet the nose. Hints of blackberries, toasted oakand spices on the palate are enhanced by the presence of Sangiovese
GenuWine Winery dried Grape Skins.

Daves Wine Pairing Recommendation: Enjoy a glass of this heavenly Barolo on its own or paired

Spotlight on Cabernet SauvignonThese falls days are getting chillier and the
winter season is almost upon us. Now is
the perfect time to enjoy this king of red
wines, Cabernet Sauvignon. The nobleCabernet Sauvignon grape is a black wine
grape variety that originates from south-
western France.
In fact, Cabernet Sauvignon is a relative
newcomer in the world of wine-making;
the Cabernet Sauvignon grape is the prod-
uct of a chance crossing between Caber-
net Franc and Sauvignon Black during the
17th century.
Cabernet Sauvignon became popular be-
cause of its easy of cultivation. Cabernet
Sauvignon grapes are very hearty with
thick skins and vines that are resistant to
Ingredients:
1 lemon, zest grated
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Olive Oil
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
3 pork tenderloins
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and
2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat with
the marinade. Seal l the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably
overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove tenderloins from marinade and discard marinade
but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle tenderloins generously with salt and pep-
per. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saut pan over medium-high heat. Sear
the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place saut pan in the oven and roast the
tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part.
Transfer tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10
minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be
quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper
and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.
Pair with a glass of Grand Cru International California Meritage!

Generally speaking, Cabernet Sauvignon
wines tend to be deep purple in colour andenjoy flavours of blackberry, cassis, which
rich tannins. One of the key characteristics
of Cabernet Sauvignon is that oftentimes,
faint aromas of bell pepper are present
which rich aromas of cigar, leather and
violet becoming prominent as the wine
ages. Bold, assertive, full-bodied and a lush
mouthfeel add heaviness to this luxurious
wine.
While Cabernet Sauvignons heritage can
be found in southwestern France, we areseeing fantastic Cabernets coming from
Italy, Spain, Australia, South Africa and
In a coffee mug, combine coffee and
port. Stir well. Top with whipped
cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
