Chefs

The Jackson Hole Wine Auction is excited to announce our 2010 Featured Chef Roster. Over the years our chefs have included many James Beard award winners and favorites of culinary authorities such as Gourmet, Saveur, and Food & Wine. This year's lineup of celebrated chefs will bring many longstanding participants along with a crew of fresh faces.
