Score context
Taylor S (October), Ashelén T (September), Sandy W (September) and Maralto (July) describe wine or bubbles consumed at Bijou Bottle Store’s 194 Little Collins Street bar in 2025. Taylor’s takeaway-gin purchase was not counted as a visit; the on-site wine was. All four visible bar-drink accounts are favorable, though some pairings are food-led and the single-mirror sample is one-sided; confidence is low.
