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 werenât 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.

Over the years, I have tried a vast array of wines from all around the globe, and I have always been impressed with the vast knowledge and exceptional customer service of the Enoteca team.

   Read moreI recently had the pleasure of stopping by this charming establishment right after my regular walk in the park, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. I decided to explore their wine selection and was warmly greeted by the owner, Ryan (I hope I got his name right). Feeling like it was a white wine kind of day, I opted for a tasting of three European wines. My choices included the '22 Chardonnay from Domaine Givot-Goisot, Chablis, France, the Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Sautereau,Sancerre, France, and the '18 Promara, Tsiakkas, Cyprus. To my delight, the owner also offered me a sample of the '20 Chardonnay from Domaine Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I must say, I was truly captivated by the Cyprus wine; it was wonderfully light and creamy. This store is a gem for wine enthusiasts, with a diverse selection from all around the world. It's now my go-to place for discovering excellent wines beyond the borders of California. Thank you for the...
