Directions

Tasting notes: The pork is a great complement to the bright-red fruit in the wine, while the coffee rub coaxes out the Pinot’s earthiness and highlights the cigar-box nose.

Serena's tips: The watermelon relish is a lot of work, so we serve this dish with a side of salted watermelon slices instead.
