What’s Cooking: 8,500 Reasons to Visit

September 2002
By Linda Hayes, Food Editor
If there’s a pot of gold at the Rainbow Ranch Lodge in Big Sky, Mont., it’s proprietor Patrick Hurd’s Old World wine cellar, a room inspired by both his longtime passion for the grape and his award-winning 8,500-bottle collection. Hurd designed the temperature-controlled cellar (named the Bacchus Room), which features weeping river rock archways, gated cellar doors, slate floors and a harvest table made from an old Rainbow Ranch sign. Best of all, it’s a terrific place for a private dinner or wine tasting—all of which is best topped off with a stay at the lodge.
