Is there wine in the stuffed mushroom caps? (Yes, there s wine in the stuffed mushroom caps.)
Is there wine in the gooey brown butter blondie? (Yes, there s wine in the gooey brown butter blondie.)
You get the point. Wine is incorporated in every dish on nearly every menu at Messina Hof s new Harvest Green Winery & Kitchen, which opened last month at 8921 Harlem Rd. in Richmond. We say nearly every menu because the kids stuff isn t cooked with wine. That wouldn t work. But everything else is. The pan-seared chicken? That s merlot in the demi-glace. The roasted beet salad? That has a sauvignon blanc vinaigrette in it. The cheesy, nutty, and peppery prosciutto and wild mushroom Neapolitan pizza? Its base is apparently ricotta and chardonnay.Â
