This recipe is easily among my favorite ways to prepare pork.  Also, this can be easily adapted for a party of four to a banquet of forty.  The pork loin is slow roasted till moist and tender and served with a lightly sweet sauce and beautiful bitter endive.  This combination makes a truly elegant main course suitable for any meal.  Enjoy!

Serves 6 as a main course

Pinot Noir is one of the most difficult wine grapes to grow requiring constant attention and long growing season. When it is made correctly it can be quite sublime. It pairs well with pork and matches well with fennel and rosemary. The following recipe uses both of these spices and the natural earthiness of Pinot Noir make a great combination.

If you want to enhance the recipe a bit, after you make the butterflied pork roast, marinate it with olive oil, Pinot Noir, black pepper up to four hours, then proceed with the recipe.
