Directions

Tasting notes: This dish is such a fun combination of sweetness and acidity which makes it a perfect Pinot pairing.

Serena's tips: We made a couple of changes. The grapes look better as small bunches but we destem them before cooking for ease of eating. We toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and place that in the roasting pan in the oven at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, then we add the pork, grapes and shallots.  We've also cooked the dish at a higher temperature to reduce the overall cooking time.
