THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Alyson.

Editor’s pick: Over the weekend, I went to Big Dog Vineyards in Milpitas — and if you’re willing to take the drive up, I definitely recommend. There’s live music, a dog-friendly patio (of course), and a great tasting menu starting at $18. Pro-tip: Bring a jacket, it gets pretty windy (but the view is worth the breeze). 🍷
