- Best Kept Secret Wine Lists
If you dig enough or dine enough you can find the restaurants around the country that have the best wine lists in that they contain some of the top rated wines as well as some rare ones. Some restaurants of note:
Babbo (NYC)
Guy Savoy (Las Vegas/Paris)
Azul (Miami)
and on and on. The bottom line is that these are the easy ones to find and the most certain destinations to empty your wallet.
What about the little, not too talked about gems that you really need to look for that maybe dont have 1,000's of bottles but some great ones nonetheless. In this post I am looking to start a thread of recommendations based on personal experiences. Whether its that French Moroccan lounge in NYC or a Traditional Spanish restaurant in Miami, I want to know.

What a great topic! I'll have to think about this. I don't frequently buy wine while dining out. I've got a decent cellar so I steer by money towards corkage friendly restaurants!! That is another subject that will be addressed shortly. A BYOB list!

I'm a big fan of I trulli has a massive list and decent prices

Another place I've frequented here in Queens is place on Metropolitan Ave named La Vigna. This place has a very small list but some amazing bottles and the average mark up is about 5% (NO JOKE). I do bring my own glasses though and I've been hinting to their beverage manager to start keeping the bottles at a better temp. Otherwise, it's a gem of a place for a nice night out with some fine wine at good prices.
