Essentials
Big Trees Market
25020 Shake Ridge RdThey have a pretty good local wine selection!
We love this store because they have a natural/organic portion on the right (2 stores next to each other) One has organic, local, high-quality meats, dairy, etc. I usually stop there on my way up the hill. You can always go to Big Trees Market for everything else (Big trees is more like a Safeway--and this one is more like a Whole Foods
