“Have You Visited Ancora in Los Gatos Yet?
If you live in or near Los Gatos and haven't been to Ancora, you're missing out! This charming boutique wine shop, nestled in the heart of town, offers a delightful experience that's perfect for a day out with family and friends.
Our recent visit was nothing short of brilliant. We had a gift certificate for a champagne and oyster tasting, and it exceeded all expectations. The oysters, provided by The Bywater next door, were paired with a variety of sparkling wines and champagnes. These weren’t your typical big-brand selections; instead, we enjoyed unique wines from small, intriguing wineries. Ryan, the owner, expertly guided us through each tasting, answering all our questions and helping us appreciate the distinct characteristics of each wine. It was an absolute treat.
Whether you're looking for a couple of bottles for the fridge, something special for the weekend, or a truly decadent choice, Ancora has it all, catering to every budget. After visiting Ancora, you'll never need supermarket wine again! Plus, you'll always have something interesting to bring as a gift.
Did we mention their extensive vinyl LP collection? You're welcome to browse while you sip, and they'll happily play anything that catches your eye.
Do yourself a favor and visit Ancora soon!”

“Go for the little treats, stay for the customer service! I recently purchased a large haul of gifts for my mom’s birthday and Ian was so helpful. Ian showed me how to sign up for an extra 15% off my total and then offered to walk me to my car with all of my gifts when I had too many bags to carry. What a gem!”
“Quality of food is great. They're a little pricey on some items, but have great sales. Also is you're a member, they mail you coupons. Workers there are very helpful, too.”

“Amy the baker in SV Safeway saved my Christmas! My father had been wanting a Black Forest cake I had completely forgotten in ordering it. When I walked in to asked about ordering, I was told that they were backed up on orders but did ask for information incase they had extras. I got a call on Christmas Eve that Amy is able to make a Black Forest cake. I surprised my dad with the cake, and he was overwhelmed with joy, as that is the only thing he wanted for Christmas. Thank you Amy!”
“I am a big Safeway fan but I don't see why people are upset about this joint. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Why? I love how it's open past late night because once in a year, I need to drive in the area for a church retreat and after some church related activities I make a Safeway run and this place is no exception. I find it really cool how I can get some very nice food and drinks to eat in a very nice location. Drawback: This is a smaller location which is the size of a train station so please don't count on getting bakery stuff. I could do better here if the staff doesn't act in ways that make customers uncomfortable. I don't like hearing about anyone's political views so managements please retrain yourself and your employees. Yes I understand there are republicans here but please don't press it on me.”
