’R’ de Ruinart by the glass. Recommended for its extensive list of champagnes – 14 champagnes representing NVs and Vintage, plus two rosé champagnes and a half bottle of rosé. It would be great to see a champagne on a weekly or monthly intoduction at a friendlier price, but we agree that champagne is expensive to hold in inventory.
Via Bloor Place, turn right, and take the pedestrian path to the next stop…

Claude Carré NV by the glass which we know is very good. But in any case, they don’t have a bar licence, so one must snack at the same time.

Ten bottle selection of champagnes from $95. Moët by the piccolo is the ’by the glass’ selection here, although opting for a half bottle of Pol Roger between two or three also works.

Lots of interesting champagnes at excellent prices in the display fridge (a good place to order Pommery Blanc de Noirs Wintertime NV, David Léclapart or the rappers’ current favourite, the blingy gold–coated Ace of Spades), plus a few champagnes on offer on a Friday night besides the regular ’by the glass’ option. We were in luck – a chance to try the Perrier-Jouët 2004 Bel Époque in the Emil Gallé designed Art Deco bottle. Bargain price for a cuvée de prestige, $40. It can only be hoped that they receive sufficient patronage to continue the practice. Mumm NV is pouring every day.

Michelle and Travis Tausend always have a delicious champagne by the glass. Currently offering brimming frothy glasses of José Dhondt Blanc de Blancs NV, which is making its presence felt among the cognoscenti since we introduced it to the discerning folks at East End Cellars. Delicious fruit, mainly Grand Cru from Oger on the Côte des Blancs with some fruit from the still chalky Sézannais further south. This is a perfect place to reward yourself after hard shopping at the Adelaide Central Markets. Cork Wine Café is located immediately opposite the pedestrian crossing on Gouger Street.
Thank you, Anne–Marie and Emma, for your company during the update – a great evening! and…outside the city square mile!
