Personal Notes:
This is a delicious dinner and most of the work can be done ahead. The meat is really hot when removed from oven so be careful. The wine must be warmed before pouring on the hot tenderloin. We've had cracked Pyrex dishes when the wine is too cold. What a waste of delicious tenderloin!

The thicker parts are medium rare and the ends are medium...good for all tastes!
