Allan Tidd, Wine Director
Allan Tidd graduated Summa Cum Laude from Boston University with a degree in International Economics and Business.  However his wine education began at Commonwealth Wine & Spirits and Boston’s landmark The Chart House while working through college.  Shortly thereafter Tidd became Wine Director at The Capital Grille in Boston.  Tidd’s higher education and work experience armed him with an extensive palate and solid knowledge of the restaurant and wine industry.  Since joining Harvest in 2007, Tidd has expanded the wine list to pair with Chef Mary Dumont’s seasonal menus and reflect his personal taste, including more international wines and larger half bottle list.

“Mary's menus celebrate the bounty of our region” explains Tidd.  “It’s great to work with Mary and create a list that reflects her food.  Personally, I’ve always loved French wines, so I’ve added representations from several regions of France.”   Being a part of Harvard Square, a hub of education and cultures, Tidd feels it is most appropriate to offer a wide range of wines both by the glass and the bottle.  “I enjoy helping a guest experience a wine they did not know before; helping them find a new favorite is a lot of fun for me.”
