About Wine Forest Ltd.

In 1979 I marched into what was then San Francisco’s most famous French restaurant. Toting my basket of impeccably cleaned chanterelles, I presented them to the then famous French Chef. He looked down his nose and stated flatly that “Those can’t be chanterelles. They do NOT grow in America”. So much has changed. Now tons of chanterelles are flown to that Chef’s French homeland from the Western U.S. every autumn. In those challenging days however, few American Chefs had ever seen a chanterelle. These decades later, we continue to provide great chefs like Thomas Keller, Cory Lee, Michael Mina, Traci de Jardins and many more with mushrooms of unparalleled quality. The loyalty and affection we share with them is a joy we’re finally able to extend to the home cook with the birth of our line of retail wild foods.Read their story
