Autumn has arrived and it is the perfect season for Spiced Rubbed Pork Loin. Pork loin is one of the leanest cuts of meat and pairs perfectly with white wines, especially Gewürztraminer (pronounced geh-vertz-tra-mihner). Pork loin needs a wine that is low in tannins and mild in flavor ao as to not overpower the flavor of the pork. If the pork is made with fruit, then a soft and fruity wine works best.
