We take as much pride in the wines that we serve as we do the food. For this reason we work with Mark Savage, owner of Savage Selection wines and a Master of Wine, to advise us on wine selection. When putting together our wine list Mark aims for a balanced list which will compliment the food we serve.
He works directly with small producers who cultivate interesting wines. His emphasis is on honest, unadulterated wines, where the grape, the area and the vineyard can be found in the wine rather than of over engineered wines, of which so many are produced today. A glass of wine is one of life's greatest pleasures and you will definately find it so at Purple Ski. You can find more on the Savage Selection philosophy here.
We are extremely fortunate to be working with him.
Mark's wines are served at dinner in Chopine, Iamato, Kouneli and Olympie III.
