Whose expertise do Ski Beat look on to help them find that perfect little multitasker? That would be Flacons & Flocons. The Aime based company have over 25 years' experience in the French and UK wine industry, and needless to say, know a thing or two about great wine.
"What we're looking for in our wine supplier is that they care as much about our guests as we do," say Emma. "Flacons & Flocons know our clientele, they know our menu plan and so, we're confident they have chosen the best-suited wines for our customers."

Who gets the lucky job of deciding on what wines to use? That would be Emma and her operations team. "We want several people to taste the wines, so we know that we’re picking ones that will appeal to lots of different tastes. It's a very long and drawn out process sampling them all!” she laughs. The show stoppers that have made it to the Ski Beat chalet table? The red and white both hail from near the city of Montpellier. The Sabadie, a dry and fruity white is a real crowd pleaser, according to Emma, and the red, a merlot, is a sublime medium body, sure to appeal to the red lovers. The domaine des Preignes is a fresh and floral rosé from the Languedoc in Southern France and is very popular whatever the weather.
