First Impression

You walk into a hand-carved Austrian hunting lodge tucked into a Park City ski resort, and the wine list actually matches the room β€” intentional, specific, and a little surprising. This isn't the generic resort wine list full of Caymus and Kim Crawford you'd expect at altitude. Someone with a point of view built this.

Selection Deep Dive

The list leans into the restaurant's Austrian identity without being gimmicky about it β€” expect Austrian varietals alongside a Burgundy section anchored by names like Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. The focus on organic, low-sulfite, and sustainably sourced producers gives it a coherent philosophy rather than a scattered grab-bag feel. It's not a sprawling deep-cellar list, but what's here is chosen with care. The gap is breadth β€” if you're hunting for New World depth or a broad by-the-glass rotation, this isn't that place.

By the Glass

The by-the-glass program is modest but not embarrassing β€” a Spanish Cava at $15 is an honest pour at a fair price for a resort setting. The glass selection reflects the list's restrained, curated approach rather than a high-volume BTG program. Don't expect a dozen options; expect a few well-chosen pours that match the room.

πŸ’°Best Value

Spanish Cava (by the glass) β€” $15

At a resort where $20 cocktails are table stakes, a $15 glass of Cava is practically a gift. It's approachable, food-friendly, and a smart opener before you commit to a bottle.

πŸ’ŽHidden Gem

Austrian varietals (house selection)

Most tables here will default to Burgundy or whatever the server suggests first. Don't sleep on the Austrian pours β€” they're the reason this list has a personality, and they're exactly right with the schnitzel.

β›”Skip This

VΓ©ritΓ© Winery Le DΓ©sir NV

At $750 on list against a $500 retail, the markup is technically fair by fine dining standards β€” but VΓ©ritΓ© in a Tyrolean ski lodge is an odd fit and you can do better with the budget here.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Austrian varietal (house selection) + Crispy Wiener Schnitzel

This is the most obvious call on the menu and it's obvious for a reason β€” a crisp, high-acid Austrian white cuts straight through the fried breading and lets the veal shine. It's why the list exists.

🎲 The Bottom Line

The Hirsch is the rare resort restaurant where the wine list feels like it was built by someone who actually cares β€” fair markups, a genuine Austrian thread, and a sommelier on the floor who can back it up. If you're skiing Silver Lake and want a bottle that matches the room, this is your stop.
