Estes Park

Hunter's Chophouse isn't going to rewrite your relationship with wine, but it's a genuinely solid list for where it is and what it's doing — fair prices, recognizable names, and the right bottles to back up serious beef. Come for the steaks and the mountain views, and don't overthink the wine list.

Bird & Jim is the kind of place you don't expect to find a serious wine list, and that's exactly what makes it worth your attention. If you're heading to Rocky Mountain National Park and want a real bottle of Burgundy or a proper Barolo with dinner, this is your spot.
