Tasteful Marinade

     There is nothing like starting a weekend evening with friends and a wine with a "perfect balance of flavors and textures". A tasteful and elegant malbec Juana De Sol Malbec Reversa Single Vinyard 2010 is definitely what you need. This wine is opaque purple in color and carries Asian spices and ripe fruit flavors of black cherry. Even though malbec is considered a red meat wine, Juana De Sol Malbec Reversa Single Vinyard 2010 pairs well with so many foods. Consider meats cooked over a wood fire with bold Asian marinades or barbecue sauces. Other great choices would include mushrooms, lamb or Thai fare.

1 pound Pork Loin cut into large cubes          1 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce                                           2/3 cup LaChoy Orange Ginger sauce

 6 to 8 skewers                                            


     In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, crushed garlic, onion powder, black pepper and orange ginger sauce. Add cut pork loin to marinade and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Meanwhile, be sure to soak wooden skewers in water for no less than 30 minutes so they will not burn when skewers cook. After 4 hours, thread 4 to 5 pieces of the pork on each prepared skewers.
