Cranmore's Meister Hut Wine Dinners Named "Best of NH 2008" by New Hampshire Magazine

NORTH CONWAY, NH - Cranmore Mountain's Meister Hut Wine Dinners have been selected by the editors of New Hampshire Magazine as "Best of NH 2008" for Mountaintop Dinners.
The dinners, which will be offered five nights during Cranmore's winter season in 2008-2009, were launched earlier this year to great acclaim. They feature a four-course menu with wine pairings in the rustic setting of the mountaintop Meister Hut. Guests choose between a selection of five entrees, each accompanied by wine carefully matched to each course. Diners reach the summit via the high-speed express quad. The dinner is open to skiers and non-skiers alike with a welcome reception starting at 6pm each evening.
