Can I bring my wines to JK Wine Bar?

If the wine that I want to bring is not there in JK Wine Bar, is it possible to do?

I searched for the fine restaurants of BYOW, but couldn't find where I like.

    You can, for $25 corkage according to teh BYOW website (uptodate?)

    But why on earth would you want to? 90% of the fun for me at least is tasting something I'd never taste anywhere else. No ruin the trip by bringing something that I can get from LCBO?

      Actually, it's now $30.

      Not sure what Frenchie was talking about!

        Sorry! It's illegal in Quebec, so I actually assumed - wrongly - that it was also in Ontario.

          You could, but why would you?
          They're a wine bar, with a fantastic wine program that focuses on undercelebrated, less expensive wines.

        Thanks, Guys....
        $25 per bottle doesn't look so bad..

          BYOW has been legal in Ontario since 2005, for restaurants that choose to take part, and I imagine that all of these are licensed and therefore also sell wine.

          According to these sites I found on Google, JKWB allows BYOW and their corkage fee is $25:

            Unfortunately, because of license, you cant bring your wine to a place that sells some.
