Briony Hume finds an old railway station that's on track with great food and wine in the Clare Valley. The Station Café at Auburn doesn't see a lot of trains these days: Instead it's "tickets please, for the gourmet express". It's now the home of Mount Horrocks wines cellar door, and an inspired café dishing up full lunches and delectable nibbles.
