This edition of Dinner Tonight welcomes Harvest Restaurant on North La Canada, part of the Market Restaurant Group (www.marketrg.com) which includes Hacienda del Sol and Zona 78.  We asked chef Colin King to pair three Harvest dishes with wines and he has not disappointed. 

The first dish on their menu is just perfect as we head into the desert fall.  Colin recommends their Cinnamon Brined Country Pork Ribs accessorized with Roasted Sweet Potato, Haricot Vert (French for Green Bean), Caramelized Onions, Grilled Corn and Cinnamon Chili Butter.

For a wine, pair the dish with the Jim Barry “Lodge Hill” Shiraz.

Second up on the menu is their Steamed Mussels and Clams in a Ginger Currant Coconut Broth and a side of Sugar Snap Peas. 

Colin recommends pairing the dish with the Mount Veeder Chardonnay.

Finally, the Grilled Ribeye Steak if offered with a Mushroom, Vermouth Sauce and  Crispy Home Potatoes.

The wine pairing is perfect: the Vista Albe “Corte B,” a blend of Argentinean Malbec, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon.
