Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the tomatoes, jalapeno, and onion, turning frequently, until the vegetables are charred all over. When cool enough to handle, stem and seed the jalapeno (leave the seeds in for a hotter salsa), and trim the root end from the onion. Chop the vegetables with a knife or pulse them briefly in a food processor. Stir in the cilantro, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Malbec, Sangiovese

Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Pork Tenderloin. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The SeaGlass rosé of Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

A beautiful reflection of Monterey County’s pristine coastal terroir, the Rosé opens with fragrant wild strawberries and dried rose petals on the nose. Flavors of juicy cherry andripe raspberry are balanced by refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. This vibrant wine is a diverse menu partner, pairing exceptionally well with prosciutto and melon or crab cakes with spicy aioli.
