Diablo Review:


Wine on tap is one of the many interesting offerings at Toast, a classy new wine bar joining the beer-dominated drinking establishments of College Avenue in Rockridge. Draught wine saves on glass and labeling costs, so customers can save money on premium wines, such as Andrew Lane’s smooth Cabernet Sauvignon–Gamay blend, then spend the savings on one of the hyper-seasonal offerings like a kale caesar salad or tender braised beef short ribs (they have a “daily braise” that changes nightly). Likewise, Toast’s small-plates menu changes often, according to what’s available, as does its wine list drawn from small production wineries. We discovered some lovely pairings on our visits: the Lemelson Dry Riesling, with the steamed clams in butter and white wine sauce, and the Bokisch Albariño from Lodi, with the asparagus salad topped with shaved hard-boiled egg. Lunch and dinner daily.

Price: $$
