1. LA Food & Wine/El Carajo - Filletes de mignon, wine: Chilean Carmenere - Miami, Florida - £26 

    So this is a fun one, a seemingly normal gas station on the US-1 road in Miami, with a seemingly normal Kwik-E-Mart style shop, all seemingly normal until you notice that the wine & beer selection is markedly above the average standard. As you move further behind the gas station checkout counter you notice there is a wine & tapas bar housed in the back. This was not made intentionally to be some gimmicky speak-easy but rather it started as a pragmatic use of available space and has since blossomed into a charming restaurant with an excellent wine selection (pleasantly surprised by a Chilean Carmenére) and tasty grub (Filet steak strips). 

    8/10
