Mushrooms and Merlot pair up to tempt tastebuds in versatile seasonal menu at Hyatt Regency San Francisco and Grand Hyatt on Union Square.


SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 1995--It is hard to imagine that anything grown in the dark and categorized as fungus is considered savory and appealing, but Hyatt Hotels in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden  are offering a seasonal menu featuring the popular mushroom.

, Fetzer Eagle Peak, Christian Mouiex and Markham, a noted Wine Spectator Wine Spectator is a lifestyle magazine that focuses on wine. Founded as a newsprint tabloid by Bob Morrisey in 1976, it was purchased three years later by publisher Marvin R. Shanken. In 2005, paid circulation was over 382,000 and the magazine reached an estimated 2.  favorite. Wines are available by the glass for $5.00 and $6.00.

Americans consume more than three-quarters of a billion pounds of mushrooms each year even though our love affair with the fungus didn't begin in the United States until the early 20th century. California is the second largest producer of fresh white mushrooms, behind Pennsylvania. Mushroom cultivation dates back to 17th century Europe.

The Mushroom and Merlot menu is offered nightly at the Hyatt Regency's Equinox equinox (ē`kwĭnŏks), either of two points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic and the celestial equator intersect. The vernal equinox, also known as "the first point of Aries," is the point at which the sun appears to cross the  revolving rooftop restaurant and the Grand Hyatt's Plaza Restaurant overlooking Union Square. Both offer evening validated parking. Fifty Hyatt hotels and resorts in the United States and Canada are tempting tastebuds with fungi fare this fall. Locally, the menu is also available at the Park Hyatt and Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport.
