Ancora Vino is a really fun wine bar in downtown Los Gatos that we recently visited. They have an amazing selection of wines from small unknown wineries from around the world.
Isaac recommends the Sancerre Domaine Sautereau

Westfield Valley Fair is one of the largest malls in the Bay Area. They have a wide selection of department stores; Macys, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom. Along with boutiques such as; Dior, Gucci, Rodd & Gunn, Sandro & Maje, and Apple some of which are former workplaces of ours.
Valley Fair also has some really good Restaurants; Pizza and Pasta inside Eataly, Kings Fish House, and Maestros Steak House.
If you are interested in seeing an MLS Soccer Game, the San Jose Earthquakes will be taking on Minnesota United FC on Saturday August 31. PayPal Park is across from the San Jose Airport and right near a major freeway interchange making it easy access from all over the Bay Area.
Right across the street from Westfield Valley Fair, Santana Row has some great stores along with amazing restaurants. LB Steak and Fogo de Chao offer upscale steak, Maggianos is a perfect place for a family style Italian dinner. If you fancy some French Left Bank is a wonderful option, or for the beer lovers Yard House and Sauced have some great varieties on tap.
One of our favorite wineries to visit, mountain winery situated in the Saratoga hills. Has a beautiful tasting patio that overlooks the entire Bay Area. They also have have a small concert venue on location and will be having concerts the evenings of August 30th and 31st.
This is one of our go-to hiking spots, there are several different trails ranging in difficulty that we love to go on. The main trail makes its way to a Deer Hollow Farm, where you can see chickens, pigs, cows, goats and sheep.
One of our favorite activities is to go on evening or night drives. From early in our relationship until now, we have taken nights together to drive Skyline Road. This location is just past, where one special night we had our first kiss. This road traverses from Saratoga to Halfmoon Bay. This winding road is full of beautiful vistas, and if you're lucky you might see a super car or two.
