The wine-lover's equivalent to conveyer-belt sushi, Marugo II offers a revolving selection of wines for the curious wine buff.

Where most good bars update their by-the-glass selections monthly, Marugo II does it daily. Rather than limiting the number of wines available, Marugo II's by-the-glass list is much more extensive than many quality wine bars, offering a choice of 12 reds and 12 whites that are printed out on fresh menus each day and range from an extremely cheap ¥500 to a reasonable ¥1,400.

The selection focuses on French wines, with about 50 percent coming from that country, while the rest is a nice spread of Chilean, Australian, Italian and American wines. I even spotted K Vintner's Viognier, my favorite wine from last month's tasting.
